In an assembly, I freed the imported part, I then right-clicked on the part with the mouse to rotate the assembly and since when I click on the front view my part is presented as left when I last moved. Does anyone have the solution to simply put the part back in the correct initial position?
You can also force your standard views (front/left/right...) by clicking on a flat face, then press the spacebar and click on the "update standard views" icon...
Otherwise, by creating a constraint between the origin of your part and that of Solidworks, you will have the choice to constrain or not your plans... (The two options above can be complementary...).
