Stop auto rotating part for new sketch

[Joe_Banger]

Hi, Has anyone found out how to stop the part rotating around when i click on a plane to do a 2D sketch. Often i will orient the part in perfect position to start drawing, and click the plane and it zooms out to extents and goes at orthog view. Can I stop this? Thanks i would be obliging to all :!

The default is X and Y with the Z into the screen. Check the setting in the Application Options>Sketch>Look at sketch plane on sketch creation.

There is definately a way you can change that.

Application Menu (Big I) > Options > Sketch Tab > Deselect "Look at sketch plane on sketch creation"

Please see attachment for more info

Please mark as solved if this helps your issue 😃

This only solves the issue when creating a new sketch within an already existing part.

If I create a new component by select a reference plane, and proceed to start a new sketch, the orientation and zoom all command kicks in automatically.

An feasible solution to this problem would be appreciated.

Hi! I think you are talking about the behavior of making origin planes visible and rotate the view to home when you are trying to create a sketch and nothing else is visible to pick. This behavior is only enabled when there is nothing visible in the graphic window.

To disable the behavior, you can simply open the part template and make the origin planes visible and save. Then next time when you try to create a sketch, you just need to pick one of the visible plane and Inventor will not rotate the view to home.

Thanks!

Thank you!  This is the most annoying "feature" of inventor and I was getting in trouble for yelling "stop it, ****!" at my computer all the time.

Hello Alan and welcome!

Is this what you're looking for?

Hi! On top of Chris' suggestion, you may want to turn on at least one origin plane in the iam/ipt template files. When there is a piece of visible geometry to select for 2D sketching, the automatic Y-up isoview will be suppressed.

Many thanks!
