Reorienting a Plane in an Assembly

I have an assembly that is oriented the wrong way (it's upside down.) Is there an easy way to reorient it all-at-once? If I go through it piece by piece it gets messy.


This seems easy enough, but I'm stumped--I'd appreciate any help.


thanks
 
I once had the same problem, the solution is quite simple. First orientate the assembly the way you want it, ie. front and top up. Next, hit the space bar once and the view orientation box comes up. Select the view you want to be shown on screen. Then hit select the middle icon, "update standard views". A dialog box will open telling you that you are changing view orientation, select yes and you now have updated you views.


This does not, however, change you plane orientation. It only changes the views. To change the planes, you would have to do it the other way which you were already doing. Hope this helps.
