Is there a way to control the plane (front, top, or right) that an isometric (3d) dimension can be placed on in an isometric drawing view?
If there is a setting for this it has eluded me.

SW seems to select a plane based on your selections. I've never been able to work out what the rules are exactly. Trial and much error seems to be the order of the day. If somebody out there understands this better, I'd like to hear about it.

you might be able to force it if you dimension to a specially oriented sketch in the model, then insert that dim on the drawing. The rule of thumb I follow is that it always does precisely the opposite of what I think it will.

hit spacebar, that will bring up the view orientation box. Now rotate the model and get it to what you want the front view to be (use normal to face or whatever). In the view orientation box, single click on front, then hit the icon for update standard views. Now look at your isometric view. Is is what you want? If you still want your front view the way you had it, save your new iso as a "new view" (I call it iso2)then hit the icon to reset standard views. What you have now done is created a new iso view that you can reference in your drawings.
