Step 5Orient to Sketch Plane
Select the Orient to Sketch Plane icon; VIEW > ORIENT > TO SKETCH PLANE; or CTRL+SHIFT+Z. This will orient the Drawing area to view the current sketch face on.
HINT: Pressing the Orient to Sketch Plane icon again will reverse the orientation to the backside of the Sketch Plane. One more time will reverse the orientation back to the face side of the Sketch Plane.
If TOOLS > OPTIONS > GENERAL > Design Viewing Snap to working plane box is checked, then the display will automatically orient to the sketch plane.
However, it can be useful to retain a viewing orientation when activating a sketch and use the Orient to Sketch Plane instead. With time and practice you can even get used to working while still in the Isometric Orientation.
