Default camera view keeps switching to "perspective"

Every time I create a new design and sometimes when I open old ones Fusion ALWAYS decides that the default camera view should be perspective instead of the more intuitive "Perspective with Ortho Faces". Some versions ago once you set a camera view you had to intentionally change it in the drop-down for it to change. What gives? Is there a new setting somewhere I don't know about? Someone to reinstate persistent camera views, as it was before, would be a godsend!

Make sure the Camera View, in the Navigation Panel, is set to "Orthographic".

I'd like to second this issue.

I normally only use "perspective with Ortho Faces" but it always switches back to pure Orthographic, sometimes mid project.

I've searced for a "default camera view" setting but can't fine one anywhere and it's beginning to wear thin.

 

Any help or ideas please??

Same here.  Every time I search for a solution I find some version of what jhackney1972 posted above, which ignores the fact that this is exactly what we are doing and then Fusion decides to go and set it back to Perspective again.  We are wasting a lot of time having to repeatedly go back and reset the camera position only to have it revert back to something we don't want.

I'm getting the same, except it constantly switches to "Perspective" for me, which is even more useless in the design view. I've tried switching it back, saving, then closing and re-opening, and it still randomly switches it back...

I'm also having this issue. Despite changing to orthographic each time I start session it defaults to perspective. Annoying. Not like getting a serious illness annoying, but annoying.

I am also having this issue. I change it to orthographic and it keeps switching back. Please address.

Keeps switching to Perspective even when re-entering sketches that have previously been set to Ortho.    Why not add a global preference for which of the three camera modes a user wants their drawings be opened in?

 

Has become EXTREMELY annoying.

I'm getting the same - keeps switching to Perspective no matter what. Since there's not even a way to hotkey a switch back to Ortho this is beyond frustrating and adds extra steps to every single aspect of my workflow.

Same issue, camera keeps switching from orthographic to perspective and throws me off my workflow.

Same for me as well. I use Ortho by default and it keeps switching me to Perspective when I open a file, start a new project, or even while working (I've noticed it when coming out of Sketch, for example).

 

I've not used 360 much this past year or so, but it NEVER did this before. For sure.

 

Very annoying because I hate working in Perspective. Which is, amazingly, why I don't have it selected as my camera!
