Why don't you just rotate the part after you import it into MasterCam?

How to Change Default Lathe Axis (X4) Hey guys,
Really could use some help here. So I'm trying to import a step file and generate a turn profile. Unfortunately the file is designed such that the z axis is defined as the length of the part.
When defining the stock in MasterCAM, the default is to put the length along the x-axis. So basically the stock and the part are perpendicular rather than parallel. I have tried all day to re-orient the part in my CAD program, but can't figure out a way.
Is there anyway to change the default stock axis is MasterCAM?
Thanks!

I tried that, but it just rotates the part about the z axis. I can't seem to find a way to rotate about the x axis.
have you tried rotating from the Right side plane? or share the MC file and I can tell you how after I see how it sits.
