How to have an automatic view behind perpendicular to a sketch ?

[cali.season26]

Hi,

How to have the view behind really perpendicular to a sketch I am working on ?

Or to the plane containing this sketch ?

Tx a lot for your help.

What exactly do you mean with "view" ?

I'd point you to "Insert ->Attached canvas" not exactly knowing what you mean.

Tx a  lot for this very quick reply.

Example :

my sketch is contained in the plane XY.

I click on the front face of the cube view.

I have the good perpendicular view.

Is there a way to have the same view, with any plane - so any 2D sketch - of my project ?

Ohh, you want a perpendicular view onto sketches in arbitrary orientation, so not aligned with the normal XYZ planes.
Yes, if you are editing a sketch, there is a "Look at" button in the sketch palette that will provide that functionality

Beautiful.

This feature is great.

I just did some tries.

I can flap the view, orientating the camera before looking at. That works fine.

Is there a way to keep this orientation of the camera, just having the vertical axis of the sketch given by the look at feature exactly horizontal ?

So exactly the rotation of the cube view, but done in the local frame of the sketch ?

Just for  more comfort with the orientation I am familiar with.

But already, this "look at" feature is fine.

No, unfortunately it cannot be reoriented! But it would make a great feature request for the Idea station and have my immediate vote!

Ok, tx.

I will do this request.
