To Control the View of the Sketch
To easily view your sketch, you can orient the sketch to be parallel to the screen and you can hide the geometry located in front of the sketch plane.
To orient the sketch view to be parallel to the screen:
• On the Graphics toolbar, click Sketch View. The sketch reorients to be parallel to the screen.
* 
You can control the default orientation using the Sketcher options page of the Creo Parametric Options dialog box.
To hide the model geometry located in front of the sketch plane:
• On the Graphics toolbar, click Clip Model. The geometry located in front of the sketch plane is hidden.
* 
• When you open Sketch with an active cross section, Clip Model is disabled.
• The current sketch view direction determines the side of the clipping. To change the sketch view direction, select one of the following:
◦ Click Sketch Setup, and under Sketch Orientation, click Flip.
◦ Click Setup > Section Orientation > Flip section orientation.
