part of sketch flips side

[NikonF6]

it happens when I rotate the plane with a sketch over some point (say, x-y plane).
is there a way to avoid it?

Thank you

Is there a way to avoid that ? I really don't know
But when it does happen edit the datum plane and flip the normal (under Plane Orientation, reeverse direction) and that should fix it.

Will try, but only a part of sketch flips...

You might need to redefine your horizontal reference.

thanks a lot. I will try.

Yes, maybe make your horizontal reference a feature that will move with the rotation of the plane

While this thread will NOT directly address your issue, it does go into some length, particularly the second to the last entry, in explaining why certain behaviors are seen when editing sketches, and to some extent, how you might avoid them:
