f) If the "Display Grid" option is activated, it will be displayed. This can be

easily turned on or off while in the Sketch environment, by right-mouse-

clicking in the graphics area and selecting the "Display Grid" command. This

option can also be set in the template.

Display Grid

As the reader can see, SOLIDWORKS gives us plenty of clues to help us

know when we are working in a sketch.

2.4. - Notice that when we make the first sketch, SOLIDWORKS rotates the view

to match the plane that we selected. In this case, we are looking at the part from

above. By default, the part is automatically oriented only when the part's first

sketch is made to help the user get oriented. For subsequent sketch operations

we can rotate the view manually using view orientation tools, or turn on the option

to always rotate the view to be normal to the sketch plane in the menu "Tools,

Options, System Options, Sketch" and turn on the option "Auto-rotate view

normal to sketch plane on sketch creation and sketch edit." Turning this option

ON will help new users get oriented in 3D. Feel free to turn it ON or OFF as you

feel comfortable.
