Auto-orient view when using 'Look at' is super annoying ... can you switch it off ?

when you select something with the look at command the view will automatically rotate to whatever Fusion fancies .. that is super annoying. I work a lot with this feature to align parts in 3d in ortho view on non standard planes and Fusion wil ALWAYS rotate the view wrong. I suppose it's something to do with the Origin of the selected component but can't make any sense out of the logic of it. Since there isn't a feature on the nav cube to rotate the view like when you are on standard viewplanes i'm working upside down most of the times and it's starting to do my head in.

Is there a way to switch this auto rotate off ?

I find this annoying too. Especially when going into a sketch when already looking at the view but Fusion decides to rotate it for me.

There is a rotation on the view cube though in the top right (I think, from memory) there’s arrows left and right to incrementally rotate 90 degrees I use that all the time to correct it.

unfortunately the rotate arrows are only present when you are viewing on of the standard planes (top/bottom/front/back/...) as soon as you move the view in 3d space the arros dissapear

aI would like to add to this, if it'll help. I have this issue in the "design" windows mostly.

I can turn off auto rotate in Prefs, but that really isn't any better as I want it to rotate to a flat, upright position like you'd expect, but it auto rotates 180º out so everything is instantly upside down.

I used to think it was a limited thing but the other day was streaming with some friends and when one went into edit a design feature it did it to him and like 4 people all at once basically said "god I hate it when it does that" so it's not just me!
