Along the very top left of the screen you have a series of isometric cubes with one yellow face, these allow you to jump to a particular view, the furthest of these cubes is all yellow and that will take you back to a home view which can be altered by the arrow at it's side.

I use these when in Part or Assembly mode, but there doesn't appear to be any equivalent resetting tool when in Drawing mode.
