Color and sketch issue

pkappetein — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 21:05:43 GMT

Hello,

I am playing with Fusion 360, and keep running into the following 2 issues, and i can't seem to figure out why.

1. When I draw a item, it turns light blue, but when i follow a course, it always shows orange.. can i change that somewhere? since it's confusing me.

2. When I do sketch and I select Front then it always shows it in mirrored mode.

When i flip it, so i can read it. and do edit later on, it's making it all mirrored again..

Is there an option to have it not do that?

Thank you

here is a video, from where I select the sketch and select the front... why is it turning the other ways and backwards.

This is a know issue and hopefully will be corrected in a future update. In the meantime, either use the View Cube to straighten it out or possibly the Look At function in the Sketch palette.

In your Fusion 360 Environment, light blue lines in the sketch mean they are not fully constrained. They turn white when they are. In other environments, the colors are different, not sure which one is orange though.
