How to change Assembly Base Plane

How to change Assembly Base Plane

(OP)
Why after making assembly,my design orientation is not as usual. when i click the top view,it show me the front view of the assembly.HOw can i set it back?

RE: How to change Assembly Base Plane

Each part file has a default orientation and what's happened is that you've created your parts in one orientation and when you created your assembly and placed that first component you weren't paying attention to the whether that part was in the same relative orientation to the absolute CSYS as it was in your piece parts.  Now that being said, if your main component is NOT 'Fixed' or constrained the Datum CSYS, you can just go into Move Component and rotate it into the 'correct' orientation and if you've constrained the rest of the secondary components properly, they should move as well.
