When creating a Sketch On Plane using 'Plane Method = Inferred', what controls 
the inferred orientation of the sketch coordinate system (csys) when selecting 
a planar face?



Solution

 Using the Inferred Plane Method, the X axis direction of the sketch csys is 
determined by the current view orientation and the planar face selected.


A good way to drive the X axis direction to be parallel to the absolute X 
direction is by first selecting the F8 key on the keyboard to square up the 
view prior to selecting the planar face.
