Flat pattern in my drawing

Occasionally, while I'm dimensioning up my drawings, something happens to the flat pattern? It converts to a front view. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. I can't get it to change back and I'm left with flattening out my part and saving the dxf so I can create a new part that is flat and use that to enter into my drawing. When I open up the view palette the front view and flat view are exactly the same? Please can someone advise me what I'm doing wrong?
