Create a Coincident Reference Plane

Step 1.

Do one of the following:

  • To create a global reference plane, choose Home tab→Reference group→More Planes→Coincident Plane.

  • To create a local reference plane, on the command bar for the current feature, in the Plane Options list, click the Coincident Plane option.

Step 2.

Select a planar face or reference plane. The x-axis orientation of the new reference plane is automatically defined.

Tip:

  • You can use the N, B, and T hot keys on the keyboard to change the orientation of the x-axis. The N key selects the next linear edge as the x-axis. The B key goes back to the previously selected edge. The T key toggles the x-axis origin to the opposite end of the selected edge. The P key selects a base reference plane to define the x-axis. (The P option is not available in the assembly environment.) The F key flips the normal direction of the reference plane, which changes the x-axis orientation.

  • You can use QuickPick to locate hidden part faces.
