No there is no way to change the 4 views like you want. It's based on the tried and true method from drafting. Top, front and right hand side.Then the projected view. You can always add cameras to get any extra view you want though but they only show in the 3d view. This is the way I do it. Now this box problem you have to reset the world postition. Math works perfect anyway try -4 or see page 36 reset pivot. You get goofed up some times with copied objects. This is where the problem comes from usually.
