How do i stop arrange from automatically flipping some components?

Hi @rhetths ,

Thanks for posting to the Fusion 360 Forum. 

Can I have some more details and step on this issue?

if possible record a short screen video for the same issue.

Cheers..!

Is fusion supposed to avoid flipping components, or is it considered okay?

Has fusion never flipped components in your personal experience?

Which action causes the components to flip?
Does it happen when joining with the "Joint"?

Can you share a video?

Select 'Arrange", then select the components to arrange by clicking and holding and creating a box around them.  I think it is at this point that some flip.  Often i don't realise some have flipped until later.

I don't think i use arrange in any strange way.  I expect this is happenning to lots of people (?).

I don't tend to use the joint command.  I tend to be working with pieces of flat plate.

If I have a recurring problem that costs me time, I would rather spend time describing it in detail in the forum. And in such detail that it is comprehensible.
The easiest way is to upload a file where the problem occurs.

I would rather try to talk to the captain AD.

Just post a file, or picture please.....

I use arrange with some frequency to create drawings that I send out to waterjet and laser services. I haven't had a case of flipping that wasn't fixable through settings choice.

What settings?

I tend to align my components to the X-Y plane.  Then when i arrange, some components get flipped by fusion.

do you have an example model where things get flipped?  maybe we can diagnose something.
