I have a drawing I did in 2D. I changed the view to SE Iso. Then used the
"Change command, properties, thickness" to give it another dimension. The
drawing is laying down but I want to rotate it up around the x-axis so that
the original Yaxis is now Zaxis. I tried 3d orbit but it's not that clean.

What I do is to manipulate the UCS so that the rotation that you want will occur in the XY plane, then use the ROTATE command.

Why not use Rotate3D? It's the simplest way, simply select and rotate around the x-axis.
Align also works well, if you need to plece it somewhere precise.

Also, 3Dorbit changes only the way you look at the object, not it's position in coordinate system.
