2D sketch camera

[alexfrantsuzov1]

Hello! Didn't use inventor for a while and found out that trying to start a new 2D sketch (fig 1) makes camera go to base coordinates (fig 2), instead of focusing on the area I've selected to start a new sketch. But the new cross of coordinates seems to be on the correct place (fig 3). Is there a way to fix that?

In the settings I've tried to uncheck the "Look at sketch plane ... in part environment", which just prevented camera to move.

Nope..

Hi Alex,

I guess you would like to zoom into the sketch geometry, instead of entire body length. You can actually turn off the solid body so you only see the sketch. But, you will lose the ability to project geometry from the existing body.

Many thanks!

Thank You for Your answer!
Do I understand correctly, that the "hide body" strategy works only in the Assembly (.iam) mode and won't help me in the Part (.ipt) mode with a ton of extrusions? (cause I can't find any buttons to hide an extruded body)

Hi! In the part browser, look at Solid Bodies folder. Right-click on the bodies and you can hide them.

Many thanks!
