Constructing a Plane from an Alignment

You can construct a plane through the current origin and parallel to the current workplane. (Input features do not need to be provided.)

To construct an alignment plane:

  1. Access the Construct Plane dialog box (Insert | Feature | Constructed | Plane).

  2. Select the Alignment option.

  3. Do not select any features.

  4. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option would read:

CONSTR/PLANE,ALIGN

A - Plane constructed parallel to the top (XY+Z) workplane and through the origin
B - Origin (0,0,0)
C - Current workplane
