SOLIDWORKS 2020 by default does not rotate the camera to face normal to new or edited sketches. This can be a pain. To change, click the Options gear at the top of the window. This will bring up the System Options menu (as well as Document Options if you have a file open).
 +
 +
About 1/4 of the way down, select "Sketch" and ensure that the top box "Auto-rotate view normal to sketch plane on sketch creation and sketch edit" is checked. In SOLIDWORKS 2021 this is the default option, so the new version in 2021 will not need this update.

Posts require BOTH a .ctl and .lng file. Some post processors may include supplementary files (e.g. .pinf) so please ensure that when installing a post processor that all required files are included.
