Starting Sketch in XZ Plane, screen rotates 180

When ever I start a new sketch in the xz plane (viewing from top down) my sketch rotates 180 degrees. Not a huge deal to rotate it back, but not everything I create is symetrical and when I go to draw the part, I want a certain ISO view to be default. I know you can insert/obtain any view into the drawing but is there an option to stop this rotation or maybe I am not setting up something correctly.

 

Using Inventor Pro 2012

 

Thanks

Hi Everyone, 

 

I know this issue has been super frustrating and even in 2023 version, still we are experiencing the same, I wanted to share a work around which might be helpful for you. 

 

I have attached a template file for part which has no issue and it works smoothly .There are three prebuilt sketches for Top, Front and Right views with their sketch coordinates fixed to avoid the unnecessary rotation. this works best if you use it with the following setting in Application Options/Display/Look at Behavior ---->Align with local coordinate system

 

in this solution, no changes is needed on the view cube there for everything works perfectly fine and no re-orientation is required.

 

the template is saved in 2022 version , and hopefully you will find this beneficial.
