Saving Working Plane Positions

The working plane position can be permanently saved with the drawing and accessed later from the Working Planes palette or Active Planes list on the View bar.

To permanently save a working plane position:

  1. Click the Utility Menu button at the bottom of the Working Planes palette to open the Utility menu.

  2. Alternatively, right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on the palette to access the context menu.

  3. Select New.

  4. Alternatively, select Modify > Working Plane > Save Working Plane or right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on the drawing to access the context menu.

    The New Working Plane dialog box opens. If there is a currently active working plane, the dialog box displays the origin and rotation values of the current plane. Otherwise, the dialog box displays the origin and rotation values of the global ground plane centered at the internal origin.

  5. Name the working plane position and reset the values, if desired.

  6. Click OK. Saved working plane positions are displayed in alphabetical order in the palette. To access a saved working plane position, double-click its name in the Working Planes palette or select it from the Active Planes list on the View bar.
