Here is a quick method to create SOLIDWORKS Sketch Normal to Curve without having to create a plane first, and then sketch on that plane.

First, select the curve or edge, as shown in the sheet metal example below, then click Sketch from either the Insert menu or the Sketch CommandManager.

This will start a sketch on a newly created plane that is normal to the curve, located at the nearest endpoint on the curve.

Upon exiting the sketch, you will notice that a new plane has been created and is located in the FeatureManager design tree.
