redefine sketch flips / mirrors the sketch!

[ctbram]

Jesus guys this issue has been around as far back as 2018.  

In a nutshell, you have a sketch and you want to move it to another plane, let's say to a midplane.  You pick redefine sketch and then the new plane AND THE SKETCH FLIPS!!!!!  Actually, it MIRRORS about some mysterious indeterminable axis!!

THIS MAKES REDEFINE SKETCHPLANE USELESS.

I have seen posts on this as far back as 2018!!!   You guys do not think this is serious enough to be FIXED?

I mean I am not on the dev team but how hard is it to add a select normal option?????

I have to copy and paste my entire sketch to a new plane and then lose all my **** dimensions to simply move a sketch to a midplane!!!  What a waste of energy and what then is the purpose of redefine plane if it mirrors the sketch plane and then you spend 15 hours trying to figure out how to remirror it correctly only to find YOU CAN'T.

Hi,

Please share the file for analysis.

I have experienced this before and it is annoying that there is no option to choose the "other" side of the plane (i.e. flip the normal).

Rather than trying to redraw or fix up the mirrored sketch, an easier work around is to create a new plane that is oriented "correctly". Draw a single straight construction line on the bad plane, then create a new "plane at an angle" using this line and an angle of 180 degrees. The resulting plane will produce the desired result when the sketch is redefined to use it.

Only 4 years, thought it was longer. 

Workaround - Never use it.

Might help....
