Revising Positioning of Part

Revising Positioning of Part

Revising Positioning of Part

(OP)
I started a new part and brought in 2 sketch pictures for front and side views to use as reference.
When I hit the front view button, the part winds up in the lower left hand corner
of the screen. All the planes wind up where they should be located in relation to
the part.... but somehow the positioning of the part is winding up not in the middle
of the screen. When I press middle mouse button to rotate the part,
it does not rotate about the center of the part as it should.
There is no errant renegade geometry in some foreign location that
would be causing this. Any suggestions. Thanks for the help.

Never mind... found the problem... .needed to reposition those blue positioning lines that come in with the
sketch picture(s).
