Isometric Orient View with Z axis at the top

I am using Creo Parametric Release 12.4 and Datecode12.4.0.0

I would like to create a new oriented view with an isometric orientation.
Currently, the default Isometric view has the Y‑axis along the upper side.
I want to rotate it so that the Z‑axis is along the upper side instead

Refer to the solution in this thread for details on the angles required for orientation:

 https://community.ptc.com/t5/3D-Part-Assembly-Design/Iso-views-based-on-Default-Orientation/m-p/924392 

 

See my post with the values to get Isometric projection relative to current view; TLDR

ISOMETRIC (proportion of the three sides is 1:1:1):
The horiz. angle should be the ArcSin of (1/(Sqrt(3))) = 35.26439 degrees
This is equal to ArcSin of Tan(30).
Due to rounding errors in Pro/E you can better use the value: 35.26379

 

Orient your model in an orthographic view with the desired axis orientation. Use view dynamic orient to put the model in ISO view and then save the view.
