Modify Drawing 'standard 3-views'
(OP)
How to change view in standard 3-view drawing. It puts in Front, Top, and Right views but some parts would be better served with Front, Back, and Right views. I can delete the Top view and substitute a Named view (Back) but this view is no longer 'aligned' with the Front view (in that it's not horizontal to the Front view). Any better way of doing it?
On a similar vein, if I insert an isometric view but want it from the other side (or a different rotation than std isometric), how do I insert a "custom" view?

You can't change the standard 3 views to my knowledge. If you want more than what views you have, you need to simply click Insert \Drawing view\Named view and pick it out of the Property Manager (PM) the view you want to add. Once you get the view in place on the drawing somewhere. You need to RMB the view and click Alignment\ Then pick the most suitable choice that fits your needs. I 95% of the time use Origin vs. Center.
You need to make a custom view in the model that you want. Once you get the model in place you need click the space bar and view orientation pops up. Click the first telescope from your left and type in a new name. Then go to the Drawing view and insert it like I stated above. Or if you already have your ISO view in place. Click on the view and in the PM you will see all your views (View Orientation) simply Double Click the appropriate view.
I think that will get you through...That will $40 bucks now

MOdel in drawing top view shows the front instead.
Go to the model select the front view from your standard view toolbar.
hit the space bar to show the view orientation dialog box.
Click on "top" then click the update view button (middle button up top)
a message box will come up saying that you are changing the standard view. click OK.
cycle throught the standard views in the model file and verify that top is top, right is right, and front is front... if ont make adjustments as necessary.
Thats it.

Example:
If you have a front view and a side view next to it. you would right click on the side view, select align horizontal by origin, and then click anywhere on the front view.
To create a new isometeric view, just rotate the part to the desired perspective, Then do as Sbaugh has suggested and create the new view.
Hit the spacebar, click on the "telescope" on the left (new view icon) type in the name i.e. "ISO2" click OK
Now in your drawing, you can select ISO2 from the list as you would with any other named view that you would pace in a drawing.

Start a drawing, then RMB somewhere on the drawing and select PROPERTIES.
You can save this in your FORMAT if you like.
This won't get you exactly what you want - it's just another 2 cents worth...

I didn't understand how to place custom rotations of views in the drawings until I tried rotating it in the 'PART view' and then, back in the drawing, inserted a named view with "current model view". This worked well.
However, I've been unable to change view orientation using the space bar. When I try to change orientation, I see only one option "*Full Sheet". When I 'add new view' such as "ISO2", it doesn't appear in the 'named views' nor can I convert other drawings to that view using the orientation dialog. This is not a major problem so thanks for the help.
