Change view to construction plane

[Anonymous]

Can we change the view in the 3D space to normal to construction plane?

You can use the Look At command from the navigation toolbar. Select the command and a face/plane and it will transition you normal to the face/plane.

OK.  That is close.  Look at is fine until you want to toggle 90 to that position.  Then the space returns to base coordinate system.  I am looking for a way to re- orient the 3D space to another based on a construction plane.  I would like the use the navigation cube thingy and transform tools in multiple orthographic planes.  Are the transform tools are limited to x y and Z of the base coordinate system?  ...It could not be that limited right?

If you are purely looking to re-orient the cube for viewing you can right click on the View Cube and select "Set View As" and select a face to be either Front or Top. This will let you navigate 90 deg from that face.

You may be asking to re-orient the UCS which would change the sketch planes and everything which we presently don't support in Fusion 360. 

If neither of these are what you are looking for we will try round 3 🙂

Thanks.  I did find this last night.  Is there a way to hot key Set Current View?

Glad you found it. There isn't a way to set a hotkey at the moment.
