Drawing axis orientation

Hello all,

 

A question about drawings. Why hole axis are always orientend horizontal/vertical independently the way we created the holes ?

On the capture below as you can see hole axis are always horizontal/vertical. I would like to have axis orientend like the view on the right but on the left view. Is it possible ? Thanks

You'll have to manually manipulate the axis by selecting the axis, right mouse button, edit attachment, and then in the old menu manager dialog, choose the option that will work the best for you. If you know the angle, you can manually enter it or you can have the axis orient parallel or normal to another picked line/edge or you can make the axis go thru other geometry.

Why would you want this?  I am new to CREO but not new to CAD/CAM.  If I was going to create a drawing, I would want the view on the left.
