Issue:

Copy/paste sketch into a new sketch causes loss of rotation in Fusion 360.

Note - How sketch29 is 90 degrees out of position to the original sketch even though same plane origin (TOP) is being used

Causes:

Issue appears only for imported sketches.

Solution:

The work-around is to use the rotate function to correctly orientate copied sketch.

1. Rotate.
2. Select axis.
3. Angle of rotation.
4. OK.

Work-around -  Create a copy of the sketch "Action Fill" using a "Project" command at first and then create a copy of the selected items; as shown in the screencast link above - this then avoids the issue with 90-deg rotation.
