You can put the reorient on the little floating toolbar so it's only 2 clicks. Stupid ribbon interface has doubled the number of clicks in all software, I want to sue Mr. Bill for carpal tunnel disabilities.

Thanks for the reply. I did put it on the floating tool bar... but I still count at least (4) clicks. Maybe I'm not doing it right.

-Click Reorient Icon
-select Front
-select Top
-OK

They have the (1) click icon in the sketcher...
I never realized how much I used this in my old program... till now!

Don't you have named views in your parts? Click Named Views then click Front (assuming you have an Front named view).

Well of course we have named views... and I can create new named views... but that will always zoom me in or out the that specific view. All I really want is the orientation... which is what the "Sketch View" command does in the sketcher. I notice the Sketch View does not change your zoom and does not throw your part off the screen.

PTC doesn't deal with views the way other software providers do. There's no getting what you want without becoming a Toolkit developer and writing it yourself.

The zoom hardly matters these days since you just roll the scroll wheel back and forth. That's all I do to pan these days too as it's much faster than hitting control keys.

You could create a macro to do your 4 clicks for you and bind it to a single key.

You could also (easier option imo) select the face you want to look at and click "View Normal" which is located under the named views dropdown in the view toolbar on your screen. That's 2 clicks.

Please, please, please, use the correct terms!They're Datum Features NOT DATUMS!!! AAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAA" -- Don Day

Oh... you had my hopes up with "View Normal"... but it does not show up in my menu like yours....
Maybe it's the way I'm selecting the face...

It probably does not help that you are on Creo 2.0 and ModulusCT is on Creo 3.0
