Hi ! I'm wondering if there is any option to stop fusion 360 from changing view everytime you start a sketch... 

 

Every time i click on a face to start a sketch, the camera view moves so much, i sometimes do not even know where i'm supposed to sketch.. Is there any option so it does not do that, so that the view does not change at all ? I select a face to sketch on a body, ok but i'd like the view to stay where i am, i know i selected this face, it does not have to put it on a flat view...

 

Thanks for your help.

My Problem is that it's not consistent about changing the view to orient top down to the face I've selected.  it's intermittent.  WuDuFu?

I like it to change the view of the sketch when entering into a sketch, but when that's ticked and you exit a sketch it does another random rotation into some random view. This isn't very useful when you want to see how the model is updated against the sketch viewpoint, so I only need half of what is happening during entry to a sketch and lining it up, not the existing and changing back to some random view orientation.

Have the same issue for Autodesk Fusion Personal, and the only preference setting I see is Units?

A large-size model, and it auto-rotates sketch into a view at the global coord system - even when first selecting a surface far awau to act as sketch plane?

I turned the option above off and mine still zooms way out and to somewhere in outer space.  It's just become a standard process for me to do the following:

 

zoom, turn, etc the drawing to see the plane I want to sketch.  Highlight plane.  Create sketch.  Fusion zooms into outerspace for no reason.  I hit the zoom fit button.  Re zoom, turn, etc the drawing to get back the plane. 

 

Super enjoyable.  EVERY SINGLE TIME.
