3D sketch problem

My TAB key does nothing when I try sketching in 3D. Is there some setting somewhere that I need to check or uncheck?

Make sure you are in sketch edit mode while using Tab key.

If you are looking directly, or almost directly normal to one of the primary planes, it will not allow you to adjust the axis with the tab key. Rotate your model 30° in an arbitrary direction and see if that changes its behavior.

  Charles,
  This was the only thread I could find you on for the moment.
  You placed an article regarding helix shapes on another thread (that I can't seem to put my eyes on right now)
  and I was really impressed with the website. I wanted to register on this site for other topics and it told me that
  they are not exceptiong any new applicants. Do you know why and when they might be?
  Does one have to meet certain cryteria?
  
  Thank you
