I need to change the how the view of a part looks in the .ipt file and I don't remember how to change it.
 
 

 
 Maybe you should open it as *.IDW

I figured it out.  Since the last version of Inventor I used was ver 5, they changed things a bit.
 
I found that after you rotate your part to the correct view you want, you need to right click on the 3D view box in the upper right hand corner and select "Set current view as home" and then save the and that changes the view.
 
Maybe the forum gurus could put that in the Tips area if it isn't there already (I search a little and couldn't find it)Breeze1042008-06-24 17:10:21
