This tool sets the model view perpendicular to the sketch plane. It is useful when the user has changed the model view orientation to examine another aspect of the model and wants to return to a view normal to the sketch.

Description

The Sketcher ViewSketch tool aligns the 3D view with the sketch. The view is rotated so that the view direction is perpendicular to the sketch plane, and the X axis of the sketch appears horizontal. It is useful if you have changed the view orientation to examine another aspect of the model and want to return to the default sketch view.

Usage

  1. This tool is only available if a sketch is in edit mode.
