Adjusting a working plane

A working plane can be adjusted in any direction. There is only one limitation. A working plane is always bound to the currently set user co-ordinate system. The working plane may be oriented in one of the main planes of this co-ordinate system, i.e. into XY, XZ or YZ plane.

Therefore, in order to adjust the working plane into the required direction, the user may need to adjust the user co-ordinate system first.

The procedure to adjust the working plane into the required UCS main plane

  1. Verify that the current UCS is defined as required.

  2. Adjust the working plane into XY or YZ or XZ plane of the UCS:

    1. Either using toolbar View and its button [Setting of UCS for active view] (image\Icon_UCS_submenu.gif),

    2. Or calling function Tools > UCS,

  3. In both cases, select one of the following items: XY workplane, YZ workplane, or XZ workplane.
