Silly question, but it's annoying me.

When I start a new sketch in a new part it asks me to select the drawing plane i wish to start on, but when I click on it, it still stays in an isometric view.

 

Where the heck is the setting that will bring the plane "normal to" when I select it.

 

???:?

I believe if you go into Tools>Options. On the System Options Tab go down to View. There is a check box that says "Zoom to fit when changing to standard views. I think that does it but im not sure.

nevermind that didnt change anything. not sure Stevie as mine has always done that. But i just noticed it only does it in the context of a part document. If I start a new part in an assembly file it doesnt go to a normal view without me clicking it or using ctrl+8

mmmm. I haven't had the chance to test it out yet.

It can't get my 3dConnexion spacepilot to sync correctly either. I had a problem with my computer and had to get it fixed, this seems to be the only bugs left.

 

Cheers for helping Matt.

ill keep digging around stevie. Ctrl + 8 is a pretty quick way to do it, especially if you just link a button on the spacepilot. Its odd that it works for me on a part but not assembly file.

It seems that when I highlight the plane I want to draw on in the design tree and then pick my sketch line it changes the view to normal to. It just doesn't do it when I select the line 1st and then the plane on screen. ARRRGGHH!!
