By default, the top view in SolidWorks is the XZ plane (Front is XY and right is YZ). Is it possible to change this default setting for a single file fo for SolidWorks software?

I prefer to have my Top plane to show the XY plane.

PS: Just to be clear, I am not talking about rotating by a body to align to another plane or creating 3 new planes or creating a new local coordinate system. I am talking about changing the default Global coordinate system so that my Top view shows a different plane than the default.

An application for this would be that in my CNC, the XY plane is the bed and Z is the up and down tool motion. There are ways in the CNC part to rectify this, but is it possible in Solidworks?
