New to FreeCAD.
Not sure how to ask this. I know how to do this in Autocad, but I can't use a STL file in autocad.
I want to reorient an imported STL object in FreeCAD so that it appears as an Isometric view when viewed in the XY plane.
I can 3Dorbit the view to the perspective I want.
In Autocad there is a command to set a User Coordinate System (UCS) to the current view. Is there a way in FreeCad to set a local coordinate system to the current view?
In Autocad i can then draw lines along the X and Y axis in this new UCS or local CS. Then I can go back to World CS (or Global CS) and use a 3 point align command to align both the lines and the STL object to the World CS. Then when viewing in the XY plane the object appears the same as the view I need when 3dOrbiting. Is there a 3 point align command in FreeCAD?
Hope this is understandable.
Any help appreciated.

Re: 3d rotate object
Change the Placement of the object. Using Std Transform tool can be convenient.
