Is there a better way to orient CAD model?

There has to be a quicker way than all the rotation of axis just to get the top or bottom cad to be level with the part on table from a z+ view perspective.

Can you expand on this issue Jerry? any screenshots you can provide to illustrate where you're having trouble? is this an issue on loading a CAD model in a certain orientation, or is this more so once the CAD has been loaded, how to rotate your view as you're programming? something else possibly?

Can't post pictures of customer cad models.

For your reference, lay your phone flat on your desk. That's basically what my part looks like sitting on the table of our brand new Contura, except three times the size.

 

Now rotate one corner of phone up at an angle, then hold at the at angle and pick up over your head. this represents how the cad model is located after it is loaded in Calypso 25 in relation to my base aligned flat part on the table.

 

Is there a quicker way to level the phone to be parallel to table then translate to z0?
