    Why does the camera turn 180 degrees after selecting top plane

    Hi,

     

    I use inventor 2013. Whenever I start a new sketch and select the top plane, the camera changes so I look at the top plane but also rotates 180degrees. I really hate that the camera rotates 180 degrees because it causes me to always see the drawing upsidedown (and then change the camera... everytime...)

     

    Is there a way to disallow inventor to cause this treason?

     

    Kind regards,

     

    Gerard

    Im not sure if this is what you mean, but go to Tools>Application Options>Sketch Tab, and uncheck "Look at sketch plane on sketch creation" towards the bottom on the left.

    Hi,

     

    I do want to look at the sketch plane but I don't want inventor to also turn the camera 180 degrees so my plane is upside down

     

    I've added an attachment. The right part of the image shows what my viewcube looks like after I started a drawing on the top plane, the left part of the image shows what I want my viewcube to look like

    +1.  Asinine problem, been around for years, has a seemingly immediate and simple fix.  Fix the problem, please.
