Sketch view - Alibre change or settings issue

[PaulProe]

It used to be in Alibre, when you select activate sketchview and then selected a face, the sketch dialog would open in planview on the chosen face.

Now, on my install, when I click sketchview and the face, it still opens, but remains in 3D mode. I have to select the correct view to get the sketch to show properly

Is this a change in Alibre or do I have a setting screwed up?

Hi Paul -- I am not seeing that, but "<Ctrl>Z" should "align & fit" the Sketch for you. ??? -- Lew

IDSLK gets the cigar, his tip fixed it.

Lew, I'm still trying to figure out what <Ctrl>Z does. Has no affect on my machine.

Hi Paul, At least on my version of Alibre a "<Ctrl> Z" restores me to looking "towards" the Sketch Plane ar "Full Screen." -- Lew

Keyboard shortcuts are customizable - but usually Ctrl-Z is Undo.

Orient to sketch plane shortcut is <Ctrl><Shift>Z
