Turn off view reorientation for sketching or extruding??

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Paul Salvador, Jan 8, 2004.

  1. Is there a setting for turning off this silly view reorientation when
    sketching or extruding?

    I'm tired of having to rotate my view back because SW is deciding I need
    to view the sketch normal to or have my extrusion viewed in some pre
    decided orientation!?

    Or do I/we have to do a ER to turn this amateurish feature, I do not
    need, off!?

    i.e., "Turn off new user idiot proofing amatuer view reorientation"?

    myself and a few colleagues were just discussing this yesterday.

    we talked about a sw lite version or a main switch in the current version to
    turn off the novice interface. kind of like windows did with xp (under
    display properties, appearance, you can set to windows classic and get rid
    of those ridiculous graphics that xp comes with) no offense to those who
    enjoy the default desktop of xp. sw started down this road with the
    file>new... dialog box, by including the novice and advanced radio button.

  3. Or it could be implemented similar to the old AutoCAD "expert mode" switch.
    If I recall, the old AutoCAD "setvar" had several different levels that
    could be set. Sounds like a good enhancement request, let's submit it (as
    I'm sure others have).

  6. Mike,

    In my experience, that makes total sense!
    Hey, that is somewhat true. A high percentage of humans prefer
    conformity,.. and the rest, well, some like to control.

    Makes you wonder about the time Prozac was very popular!? Now what is
    popular?.. Paxil or Zoloft?

  7. OK that was my lame attempt at trying to sound like Michael
    Sorry but it sounded more like Ayn Rand or Fredrich Nietzsche to me.

    Viva La Philosophy.
