If I said this right , I have an odd happening. I bought a model and tried to import it into Vcarve desktop. It came up like the others except that it is 180 degrees out of alignment to the project plain. I see three circles around the project plain but no matter how I try I can't seem to get it to lay down flat on the rectangle.
THANX FOR ANY HELP ON THIS ONE...

Can you change the initial orientation when you import the file? (Your file did not seem to have anything in it.)

Be careful posting files if they contain copyright material, is it an STL model you have purchased? If it is then you can change the orientation of the model on the import screen. If it has already been imported then I am not sure you can change the orientation but you can still rotate & mirror 3D components

I wish to add to martin 54's statement -- You can go to the modeling tab right - click on the line that identifies the model and select "re- import model then click < back button in the Import model menu. There you can orientate your model to the correct position.
