Don't fix the symptom, solve the actual problem.
Fix the constraints, and everything else will more than likely fall into place ... and you won't need to eyeball anything.

Hi,
A beginner's question:
When I created an Assembly , the Assembly was not aligned 'orthogonally'. That is, when the View Cube showed a "front view", the assembly was not orthogonal to the viewer, but rather angled. I assume this is because I did not set up axial constraints for the parts properly. So-in Assembly mode, can I re-align the view cube so that the view is truly orthogonal with respect to the viewer? (And is there a way to do this other than eye-balling?)

Add Mate-Flush constraints between the logical base part and the origin XY, YZ, XZ workplanes. (you might need to unground a part to do this)
