Hi
i started to use onShape and noticed that the front view lies on the XZ plane while in Solidworks and as i see in books, the front view lies on the XY plane.
is there a way to configure it in onShape?

    No, the top plane lies in the +Z direction, which for 3D printing makes more sense. SolidWorks is wrong :)

    Z "up" is also better for anyone that machines or 3D-prints parts.
