Every time i sketch it changes view

[nikoDJ4GQ]

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.

Hello @nikoDJ4GQ 

In preferences , General , Design , Untick the option .

Simple as that... Thank you Sir ! This will make my day.

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.

its 2026 and this is still an issue, why has an option to orientate to the selected face not been added by now? seems like thats the logical solution. it still snaps to the origin which baffles me.
