What you're looking for is called Default Camera Orientation, in Edit>Preferences>Display>Navigation as per:

Default_Camera_orientation.png

After applying the change the Home command will go to that setting.

Hi Syres

Thanks for the reply

I must be missing something because I keep getting the same view
This is the view I want:
View 1.jpg
View 1.jpg (835.53 KiB) Viewed 225 times
But I keep getting this:
View 2.jpg
View 2.jpg (336.23 KiB) Viewed 225 times
Maybe it's because the XYZ indicator is the wrong way up ?

Thanks.

Never Mind I worked it out, I was missing the CUSTOM camera view tab
