sketch questions

I have a few sketch related questions that I"m hoping someone here can help me with.

 

When ever I start a new part sketch, if I don't choose the front plane, the UCS will spin around  90 degrees if I choose the right plane or upside down if I choose the top plane.

How can I choose planes other than the front and have the orientation not turn like it does?

 

Then, when I have created my part, and am going to start another sketch for different features, I get about the same thing. The part zooms out, and re-orients itself. Is there a way I can also prevent this?

 

Thank you for your help....I really do apprecitate is.

I would like to know why it revolves too.

 

Basically I think it´s to achieve the right orientation when

you extrude the sketch or something like that. Even if it

spins around, working with the orientation it suggests proves

to be useful and as far as you don´t change anything concer-

ning this orientation, everything fit´s together perfectly.

It shows this setting below. and says currently there is nothing that prevents the rotating 180°

What I always do is rotate it close to the view I want then select that orientation on the cube.  It is a pain, but for now the only way.
