You can set such orientation of the model when one of the projection planes is parallel to the screen plane. To do this, use the commands of model standard orientations.
Model standard orientations are listed in the Table.

Select a command for a required orientation. The model will rotate in the graphic area in such a way so that its position matches the specified view direction.
You can configure orientation of standard views as well as create a custom orientation by saving the current model orientation under some different name. The custom orientation may store information about layer states and whether the section was created in the model at the moment of saving its orientation.
To add a custom orientation and configure the standard view orientation, use the View Orientation.
Sometimes you might need that a construction plane or a flat face of the model as opposed to the coordinate plane will be parallel to the screen plane. To set such orientation, use the Normal to… command. Details...
You may configure the model view when you change the orientation – you can change smoothness of rotation or disable alignment in the dialog for configuring model orientation change.
