Help: Flipping Drawing View of a Sketch
StephenG
Member Posts: 367 ✭✭✭
I was doing some layout sketches in 3D on a plane different from the global XY (Top) plane.
When I create a drawing of the sketch to specify just the key dimensions and add some notes the view of the sketch in the drawing is flipped (a mirror) of what I want it to be...
When creating a view of a sketch the select view origination is greyed out and subsequent add views by projection is non-functional.
Is there anyway I can get the resultant view in the drawing to display the view orientation I want?

Only way I could find to do it was to extrude a portion of the sketch to make it solid - create a view of the part in the correct orientation, then right-click the view and "show sketches".Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI6

A view can be built using the 3D cube part to control the view's orientation and the individual sketches can be "shown". I have various sketches created on the same 3D plane (poor man's layer capability) and Neil's suggestion makes it possible to turn the "visibility" of "layers" in the drawing view.
Thank you Neil.
