    When Extruding a sketch Screen automatically switches to Iso View

    Hello all, I have what I hope is a simple question.  I have just upgraded to 2013, and there is one "feature" I find kind of distracting.  When working in a part, I create a new sketch.  When I extrude that sketch, Inventor automatically switches me to an Iso view.  I don't want that.  I would prefer to stay in the view that I established. 

     

    Is there a way to turn that off?

     

    Thanks.

    uncheck Look at Sketch plane

     

    and/or Hit E rather than finish sketch.

    Hi,

     

    I have the same issue and tried what you proposed. Except this box was already uncheck in my options so my problem is not resolved. Every time I click on extrude while in a sketch the view turns to iso and I don't want that.

     

    Thanks.

    I just realized that I always work in an iso view, so not sure how to solve your problem.

    I also work in ISO view but often I have to rotate my assemblies to remove material and each time I do my assemblies turn back up straight in iso view. Because of that I don't see my sketch anymore to select the profile and I keep turning my parts. That is why I would of like for it to remain in the present view but I'm not sure it's possible in 2011.
