Camera - Align to plane

ridanFWCQD — Wed, 25 Mar 2020 02:04:55 GMT

Hi everyone,

On fusion 360, it used to align the camera to a head-on view, every time I started a new sketch on a plane. It stopped doing that for some reason. How do I turn it back on?

Thanks!

un-check this. eventually you'll grow to hate this setting and turn it back off though.

Hi!
Thanks for the super fast reply!
Unfortunately, that didn't help.

I forgot, you also have to have this unchecked. Fusion assumes you don't want to change the view direction if 3d sketch is checked on. un check it, and the next time you edit or create a sketch it will change to a normal view

That did it! Thanks!
What is the purpose of this "3D sketch?"

Thanks again!

It is for doing 3D sketching you can leave it on and hit look at this will orientate the screen to the sketch.
