This
is what I do when I import an IGS file and find that they're
not in
the view that I want to work on.
Do a
Utility, Display Modes and turn on your Work Plane
Indicator.
Then
select all the geometry and do a Ctrl & R or Edit,
Transform
Rotate. In the Rotate panel select 3D Axis, then select the
axis
button
that you want to rotate the part.
I
generally have my rotate angle set to 90 degrees before I
click
the Go
button.
Once I
got the part in my F9 top view I then change the work plane
to
XY_PLANE using Alt & F5 Work Plane Property Change.

Michael Senack

If I understand your question;
Select All (middle mouse button or group pallet)
Edit,
Transform,
Rotate (check suppress planes),
Rotate the work piece to the right orientation,
Move (no copies, move to where you want it i.e. "xyz zero"),
View , Top
View, Full
View, Name View
"Top" or "Top Full"
