Custom alignment of drawing views

Custom alignment of drawing views

Custom alignment of drawing views

(OP)
I am making a drawing that has the following views:



I have been playing around with SolidWorks and can't figger out how to align the ancilliary views so they are not slanted like that.  I would like to set them straight, both for clarity and also to make autodimensioning easier.

RE: Custom alignment of drawing views

right click on the view, at the top of the menu there is a choice to rotate the view, then you just enter the angle.
