Sketch on plane
Sketch on plane
(OP)
This will seem weird but wondering if anyone knows why or how to fix this.
When i first started using soldiworks when i clicked 'sketch' and defined a plane, the plane would always rotate to the screen. It looked nice and such. After about a week on my new company labtop when i click on the plane to decide which plane i will draw on, the plane now disappears. I do know that i am sketching on that plane but the plane use to rotate into the view.
I was wondering if that happened to anyone else before. I have solidworks 2011.
Thanks,

If it is already selected, check that you graphics card and driver are approved at http://www.solidworks.com/sw/support/videocardtest...
Also make sure you are not zoomed way in and simply not seeing the edges of the plane.
RE: Sketch on plane
If you want the sketch to always rotate to be parallel to screen Pro/E has this option but the normal to icon is easy enough to manually click. Or you can get comfortable with Sketching in 2d when not parallel to your screen.
Maybe the parts you worked on before only had one sketch. I've always known this to be an issue. If you want the rotate to sketch to be for every sketch submit an enhancement request. Enough people have requested this in the past so maybe one day it will happen.

In SW12, that option is in effect for every new sketch.
