I have a long script to read in airfoil coordinates and produce bodies for 3D printing molds to make carbon fibre hydrofoils. The airfoils are sketched on a series of construction planes produced by distance along a path. The script has worked well for over a year but now, possibly with a Fusion 360 update, the sketches are incorrectly orientated plus 90 degrees or minus 90 degrees to the correct orientation. I read in x y coordinates and produce a sketchfittedspline. It seems the method to place the sketch on the construction plane is not robust now, and not correctly orientated. Is there a way to ensure the local coordinate axes of the sketch plane are correctly aligned in relation to the global axes. Note that the construction planes are angled to the global x axis only. ie. the path for the construction planes is a curve drawn on the global YZ plane. Many thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction to fix this.
The screen grab attached shows the issue. 3 of the airfoils have been manually rotated into the correct orientation. All others are as read in with the script. There is a 3D curve showing the leading edge and trailing edge of the hydrofoil, and a 3D curve in the YZ plane for construction plane development. RED axis X Blue axis Z Green axis Y
