When I want to perform  a 'fit curves te mesh section,the sketches all appear on  one plane.

In this instance the XZ plane.Not on the  plane of the mech sections.

Only a few days ago it worked splendidly.

As far as I know no preferences were changed.

Anyway I did a 'restore defaults' and a re-install of fusion to no avail.

Unfortunately this 'bug' started during my second year exam in fusion.:)

The examiner couldn't fix it.

it seems to work OK for me.  I am able to generate mesh sections on a plane defined during the command:

Can you share the model you are working with here?

Dear Jeff,

Thank you for your swift response.

I've posted a short screencast on YouTube.

The mesh file is a bottle, the cross sections are ovals and circles.

Nothing more simple, but.

As you can see ,the fit curves to mesh section end up on the XZ plane and
not on the site of the mesh sections themselves.

Less than a week ago all worked well.

It looks as though some setting went wrong.

I would appreciate your help.

Yours sincerely ,

Peter Boelens.

OK, so your question was not around Create Mesh Section, but Fit Curves To Mesh Section.

The thing to remember is:  Create Mesh Section creates a new sketch for each section.  You have to edit the sketches one at a time, then use Fit Curves To Mesh Section, only on the sections for that sketch.  You are selecting sections in other sketches.  Technically, that should be prevented, because the result is projected to the active sketch.  See the screencast below

Thank you for the explanation.

All's clear now.
