sketch does not auto align once a plane was selected as in past

[MariusBaard]

Before latest update, your sketch automatically aligned to the plane you select.

This feature is now gone, why?

You can re enable it in preferences. Auto Look At Sketch

Hi,

that`s why

Hi HT

It is selected and still, it does that.

Hi G

that seems to work, but then that is a BUG as it should not do this

Hi Marius,

not for me, because then I also notice visually additionally that I am in 3-D mode.

But I guess everyone feels that differently.

Hi @MariusBaard,

Thanks for raising your query onto Autodesk forum.

If I am understanding you correctly; you wish to Auto align the view to the selected plane while sketching. As mentioned by guenther.andresen if you un_check the option '3D Sketch' in the Sketch palette (along with option 'Auto look at sketch' checked in preference) then you can auto align the view to the selected plane which is desired while you wish to sketch in 2D.

The option '3D Sketch' if checked considers that you wish to work in 3D Environment where in a new Intuitive 3D Sketching behavior comes into play.

As mentioned in the what's new this new Intuitive 3D Sketching behavior can be experience with these sketch commands: Line, Rectangle tools, Point, Spline tools, Circle tools, Conic Curve, Ellipse, and Polygon. 

Previously if you wanted to create sketches in 3D, it was pretty cumbersome. In order to go from one plane to another, you had to sketch out the entity and then use the Move command to move it to another plane.

Now when you place the starting point of your sketch, you’ll immediately see origin axes, planes, and a set of familiar rotational manipulators appear as aids to your 3D sketch and hence it doesn't auto look at the selected plane. Moving from one plane to another is as easy as moving your cursor in the direction you intend the sketch to go, and then inferred guidelines will appear to let you know where that sketch is going to be in 3D space.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks and Regards,
