Stop auto rotate view when creating sketch

When creating a new sketch, Inventor will automatically turn on the visibility of the origin workplanes and rotate the view orientation to this:

This is annoying, I like the workplane visibility to turn on but I don't want it to rotate, is there any way I can stop this?

Is there a fix for the problem now or coming in the near future? Literally cannot start a sketch in a bigger assembly because it zooms out to oblivion. The depth you can zoom back into is also limited in perspective mode.

Hey. What do you mean by that exactly?

In the settings you will find the positions for enabling/disabling view rotation during sketching.

Just to remind you Autodesk... Thread is from 2016 🙂 No improvement for such a silly thing in 2025??

Hi Gregor,

 

The only "fix" I am aware of to suppress this auto-rotate behavior on creating a sketch without a visible planar reference is to enable at least one planar reference. Open the ipt and iam template file that you use regularly. Make origin planes visible -> Save.

After that, I believe the view will no longer rotate on creating a new sketch.

Many thanks!
