Fusion 360 Unable to rotate sketch when in a planar view

Post by Biggles4808 »

I have a spacemouse wireless on Win 11 with Fusion 360 and have a problem in a sketch when in a planar view Front, Top etc. I am unable to rotate to view with the SM until I revert to the default methos for Fusion Shift+ Middle mouse button, an just rotate the view a fraction and then the SM will work correctly. Anybody know a fix for that. Running latest drivers as far as I know, I only purchased about a month ago.

When you’re in a planar sketch view (Front/Top/Right etc.), Fusion tends to “lock” the camera until it detects a manual rotation from the mouse. That’s why the SpaceMouse won’t rotate the view until you nudge it first with Shift + MMB.

Hi,

In 3Dconnexion smartUi there is option Sketch lock in others tab for Fusion.
If it's enabled rotations in sketch are blocked.
