In this case, I wanted to sketch on the top face with the y up and when I created new sketch, it flipped 180 to y down. This has happened to me multiple times on different parts. I have played with the "z up or y up" settings in preferences and it doesn't seem to have any affect on this. What am I doing incorrectly, how can I avoid this, or can I turn this off somehow? Thank you in advance for your help!</SPAN></P><P><SPAN style="background-color: #ffffff; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; cursor: text; display: inline; float: none; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.7142; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Annotation 2020-01-04 084512.png" style="width: 947px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/713235i9703B529821841C3/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Annotation 2020-01-04 084512.png" alt="Annotation 2020-01-04 084512.png" /></span></SPAN></P> Sat, 04 Jan 2020 16:00:19 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-support-forum/why-does-fusion-auto-orient-itself-upon-new-sketch/m-p/9230953#M127746 shag9A8HY 2020-01-04T16:00:19Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-support-forum/why-does-fusion-auto-orient-itself-upon-new-sketch/m-p/9230980#M127747 <P>Because you have that enabled in the Preferences <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:">😉</span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Screen Shot 2020-01-04 at 11.34.21 AM.png" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/713240i4B68A86E1B136C8C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Screen Shot 2020-01-04 at 11.34.21 AM.png" alt="Screen Shot 2020-01-04 at 11.34.21 AM.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>You may consider turning all that auto project "stuff" off as well.
