View orientation labels on sketch creation

View orientation labels on sketch creation

When creating a new sketch, I click the plane I want to sketch on and Inventor does the animation where it spins the view around for me to start sketching. Sometimes at this point I am disorientated and end up sketching in the wrong direction. 

I was thinking that once I clicked on a plane and it had finished rotating it would be nice if four words appeared saying ’front,’ ’back,’ ’left,’ and ’right’ that would then fade away after a few seconds. The viewcube only displays ’top’ which isn’t obvious as to which side the front is on. 

I know you can later specify which view is front and top but I’d rather just sketch it right in the first place.

You can turn off this rotation of the camera in Application Options under Sketch. (Look at sketch plane on sketch creation)

I want it to view the sketch plane, I just want it to be the right way up!
