You can work out the angles using this command (change x to y and z):


EDIT: Unless, as Dark Coder suggests, you are wanting to work out which way it faces when you load it, when he would be correct

no, 1st off the computer doesnt know if you have made a dog looking upwards or a submarine doing a nosedive, to the software the model is allways pointing the same way unless you rotate it, the position+angle of the model will allways be 0,0,0 when you export. usually if you want objects to be pointing from you perspectave then you can align them up with the axies depending on what software your using ofcourse.
