If my assembly or sub assembly (3d model) is not parallel or perpendicular to the Shapr Coordinate system, my 2D drawings appear isometric and not the required orthographic. How do I rectify this please?

I have this problem from time to time too.
The only workaround I’ve thought of is to make a copy of the assembly elsewhere in the design space and rotate it to be parallel to the grid.
It is bothersome if I make change and have to go thru the process again.
But major changes require all new drawings anyway because deleting or adding a component breaks the previous drawing. (That’s a different issue so I digress)
Edit: typo
I’ll give it a try thanks. Would help if I could do the “align” function using an assembly and not just one body, especially if I’m trying to square up a sub assembly on a compound angle. I will try it now, thankyou.
By the way, drawings should update automatically (or at least prompt you to click “update drawing”) if you make a change to the model.
