Add CTRL behavior to Horizontal and Vertical sketch constraint.
If you choose a horizontal constraint and you realize that you need a vertical constraint, then you need to select the vertical constraint. Despite the fact that we are now in 2015 get a preview to see what is horizontal or vertical. Add a CTRL action, so that horizontal changes to vertical as soon as you press the CTRL. Ditto for vertical to horizontal constraint.
While I did not know what JD shared with you, this is one of those things that is not painfully obvious. Thus the reason why you, I and Neil did not stumble upon this earlier. Actually this almost falls under the category of tips and tricks.
Thank you for sharing this. I will definately take a look at this myself next time.
Still does not take away that this functionality does not need improvement.
I've just tried that, - the view cube orientation has no correlation to the horizontal and vertical constraint, - after-all the view cube can be rotated and set independently of the UCS.
Try rotating the sketch and see what happens.
All I'm trying to do is to make 'drawing' the sketch easier.
Thus in sketch mode:
If I draw a line and wish it to be horizontal when viewed on the screen - I'd like to just hit the horizontal constraint and constrain it horizontally.
The current issue I have is that sometimes, and dependent upon view rotation, - If I draw a nearly horizontal line (not auto constrained) near horizontal line and wish it to be horizontal when viewed on my screen (irrespective of the UCS and view cube orientation) - to make the line horizontal I need apply the vertical constraint !!!!!!
Try rotating the sketch and experimenting with drawing and constraining lines.

If I'm understanding the problem correctly, isn't this now resolved in Inv2015? If I can get the image attached, when selecting the H or V constraint and then mousing over a point, it gives you a tracking vector showing the orientation and confirming that it is the wrong constraint. Whilst it doesn't make it obvious before choosing the constraint, it stops you now from using the wrong one and having to undo?
Consider a map. No matter which way you view it, North is still North. The sketch exhibits the same behaviour. No matter which way you view the sketch, vertical is still vertical. If the view of the sketch was rotated 30°, should a vertical constraint now be at tha same 30°? No, of course not. Why should a view rotation of 90° be any different?
Hi, this is a duplicate of another Idea that is very similar. The key point would be to enable to configurable shortcut to toggle between horizontal/vertical constraints. Please cast your votes to the Master Idea here http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/ideas/v2/ideapage/blog-id/v1232/article-id/5219 as it currently has more kudos. Thanks! -Dan
Well now we will need an option (in the customize section where you setup hotkeys,etc..) to select which button will be used to toggle so we are all happy. 🙂
