Is it possible to change the orientation of the default geometry?

Hi,
I would like to use the below ISO vehicle coordinate system for an OnShape document:
WIth the current default geometry, the front plane is normal to the y-axis, the right plane is normal to the x-axis, and the top plane is normal to the z-axis. I would like the front plane to be normal to the x-axis, and the right plane to be normal to the y-axis. Is it currently possible to make this change?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
It is not possible to change the orientation of the default planes. You could create and name your planes at the desired orientation and hide the default planes.
You can also create a view at the orientation you like and save it. This is called a named view, more information here : https://cad.onshape.com/help/#moving.htm?Highlight="named views".6
