Orientation does not change when I try to Extrude

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 03:12:57 GMT

I'm having an issue when I am sketching in 2D and attempt to perform an Extrude, or a Press/Pull The orientation remains fixed in the 2D orientation, (TOP, RIGHT...) instead of rotating to orthographic as in the tutorials. I have checked every preference I can think of, and nothing is correcting this problem.

This behavior is controlled by this preference on the Design tab:

If this setting is on, the view will rotate to look at the sketch when you first edit sketch mode. When you exit the sketch (either through the Exit Sketch button, or the start of another command - it is not tied to Extrude), the view will return to the orientation it had before the sketch was started, not automatically to the Home view. Also, this behavior will not happen if you have rotated the view away from the sketch view.

Unfortunately that setting has made no difference in the behavior.

Hi @Anonymous,

Hmm, that does seem interesting. Can you please capture a Screencast of the issue and show us your preferences as well. Personally I have never seen this happen with "Auto Look at Sketch" enabled. If it is a bug, we want to make sure we capture this.

Thanks,

Try to Right-Click the view cube in the upper right corner and select perspective with ortho.

Best,

Lars

I don't know what I did to make it stop working but the following fixed the view automatically changing between edit sketch and extrude for me:

Right-Click the view cube in the upper right corner and select "Reset Home"

Good Luck

Auto look at sketch must be checked for you to have the workspace rotate to the face you chose when you right click on a face to create a sketch while you are in the default in the home view (showing top/front/right). It has no bearing on a sketch returning to home view when you act on it.

If you are already viewing a face (instead of being in home view) when you create your sketch, there doesn't seem to be any way to ever get it to automatically return to home view when you do an operation like Press/Pull on it.

This setting has no bearing on changing a sketch after the fact, whether it was check or unchecked when the sketch was created.

Is there a way to get a sketch to return to the default home view if it was created while you were already in a face view?

I tried the other suggestions and was not successful. I then clicked the house symbol next to the orientation cube and that corrected the problem for me.

The last posting is quite 9 months ago, but I'm having the same issue with my fresh installation. Following Lars' tutorials, I noticed the same behavior on my machine. The view doesn't change to isometric view when pressing 'Q'.

I double checked that "Auto look at sketch" is ticked, as well as "perspective with ortho" like recommended by Lars. Still it wouldn't change the view when finishing the sketch or pressing Q. Might be still a bug there?

I'm a newbie at Fusion, so I don't really have an idea how else I could fix this.

Strange, after 10 mins I tried it again with the same settings and this time it worked ok. Nevermind. 😁

Even though it is an old thread with the last post 6 months ago, it may be more than me who are still facing the same problem.
I struggled with this problem for weeks before finding the solution.

First, make sure that "Auto look at sketch" under "Design" is checked.

Then make sure "3D Sketch" in the "Sketch Palette" is NOT checked.

Yes correct, I have the same settings. Thanks for sharing the screenshots. 👍

I was having the exact same problem. After finishing a sketch in a 2D view I would press E to extrude and the orientation would not change back to 3D.

@Knoparen Thank you for the guidance. It worked for me. What exactly does 3D sketch option do?

Re: Orientation does not change when I try to Extrude

jeff_strater — Wed, 30 Dec 2020 16:50:22 GMT

if this option is on, it allows you to create 3D geometry in the line and spline commands - you can sketch on planes other than the sketch plane, snap to model geometry, etc.

Hello, I realize that this is an old thread, but I have the same problem, tried all of the suggested settings and still no auto rotate to 3D when extruding. Does anyone have any other setting suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

@Latheboy

Here is a suggestion (question).

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Hello,

I saved the file to an .f3d and tried to drag and drop. Not working for some reason. Thanks...
