Navigation:  »No topics above this level« Creating Copy of Workplane

To construct a workplane of this type, select the following option in the main menu:

       <A>        Create Workplane Copy        

As a result, the following options become available:

       <W>        Select source Workplane        

       <1>        Select source LCS        

       <2>        Select target LCS        

       <F>        Cancel LCS selection        

To create a copy, do the following steps:

- Select source Workplane.

The selection can be done either in the 3D window or in the 2D window. You can set the desired offset and rotation angle values in the tab "Transformation" of the workplane parameters. Rotations in this case are done with respect to the world coordinate system. This is sufficient for creating a copy.

- Select source LCS.

Defining the transformation parameters at this step results in rotations with respect to the selected coordinate system.

- Select target LCS.

The workplane position is defined by repositioning of the source workplane according to the transition from the source to the target coordinate system. Additionally, you can define the transformation parameters. Rotations will be done with respect to the target coordinates.

The workplane is created on the current drawing page. All parameters of the copy plane that are relevant to the 2D view (origin, displayed borders) are the same as the source workplane parameters.
