I have a drawing view of which bottom edge is not horizontal.
Could some one reply how to get the view rotated so that the selected edge is horizontal. Thanks.

I understand you could set up selected views in the orientation you desire in the model and then use those views within the drawing instead of the orthogonal ones.
Thanks Jim.
This is an imported model: so, I just have the solidbody.
The model was at a weird orientation. I got it a little better, still need to rotate at the drawing view.
In CAD it doesn't make any difference if it was imported or not. Just realign the edge/face the way you want and save those ortho views. Another way might be to add a coordinate system aligned to the face/edge of interest and then switch to that coordinate system when you bring the view into the drawing. That should serve to keep the dimensions aligned with the new system instead of reverting.
Hi,
See https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/90122 by Tore Magne Bjornodegard
He should get free subscription from SW just for this
. So simple & efficient.Fixes the lack of many missing drawing productivity tools. Could only made better
if the SW could generate the rotated drawing position faster.
