The Working Planes palette lists working planes that have been saved while working on a drawing; the active layer plane is always listed also. The palette allows you to save new working plane positions, and to edit, duplicate, delete, activate, and select existing working planes. Combine these features with the working plane controls on the View bar, the working plane commands on the Modify menu, the Set Working Plane tool, and the Align Plane tool to accurately control the placement and alignment of objects in 3D space.

The Working Planes palette opens.
