How do I change orientation permanently?
I downloaded some toilet product but once I open it the view is tilted.
I already tried using compass to rotate the whole product, but once clicking the isometric view, it returns back to it's original tilted view. I have also attempted "absolute axis system"->"definition" tool, but it didn't work out as I wanted.
Is there any way to rotate the whole product and maintain the correct isometric view?

There are many things you could do in CATIA V5:
I would just add another Axis System, but with the Z-axis in the vertical direction, and the X & Y-axis horizontal. As long as the second axis is active, your standard views will be correct.
Or, you could insert the the part into an Assembly and constrain it into the orientation you want.
Or, if you absolutely need this multi-body part to permanently be rotated, you could add a transformation operation (such as Axis-to-Axis) to each body.
Personally, I would leave the model just like it is, probably because I never use the Standard views.
