When I import my obj file into Blender the rotation of the actual object is not correct (like when you look in Transform > Rotation; the X value is at 90 degrees while the others are at zero)

Do you know how to change this starting value so that my object is straight?

This has become an issue since the measurements in Transform > Dimensions are not correct since blender measures the object upon initial import and now after I rotate the object to it's proper orientations.

    The initial rotation is determined by the original position of the object and application that exported that file. Either rotate it in the source application before exporting, or there's not much you can do afterwards besides manually fixing it. See the techniques described here http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/33226/object-flips-while-snapping-to-another-object-with-align-rotation-using-face-sn or here http://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/46584/how-to-align-an-object-so-one-of-its-faces-are-axis-aligned-make-an-object-upr if this helps – Duarte Farrajota Ramos Nov 10 '16 at 00:13
  • Obj. import operation has parameters in the bottom left of the File Browser window where you can choose which axis Blender to interpet as up and which as forward. Maybe that could help ? – Mr Zak Nov 10 '16 at 00:46
