Somthing I thought was cool about SW is that I could select asketch command without having a plane or surface selected. It wouldprompt me for the missing plane info and then continue with thecommand.
It still does this in 2008 but when I select a plane it assumesthat were I picked the plane is where I want to start my sketch.
It's impossible to use in this manner now. I can never sketcharound the origin and select the correct plane. You can't select anexisting surface and then have you sketch point coincident with anedge without getting the wrong surface.
Is this a bug or a new feature? Now I have to hit that sketch iconI rarly used.
Another problem alone the same lines is that when you are creatinga 3D sketch and want to use the new little view icons they put inthe drawing area. Start a 3d sketch line at the origin then use thenew view icons to rotate to a perticular face. The software assuesyou want the end of your line behind the veiw icons. No I didn'tclick on the screen to place the end of the line I click on thescreen to rotate the view.
