CAD orientation is not showing correctly in windchill visualization tab and creo view.

The orientation of CAD representation in the Visualization tab in part structure browser and in Creo view is showing upside - down. while it is showing correct orientation when opening in Creo and also in the thumbnails in windchill. 

Any solution is available for this ?

Creo View can be used to visualize modern vs legacy orientations:
Navigate to Orientations > Customize and select Use legacy PV Standard orientations to auto convert the inputted values 

This one explains why they are different

And this may be a possible fix
