Changing the Direction of a Plane

A plane can be constructed with a reversed vector.

To construct a reverse plane:

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

2. From the Method list, select the Reverse option.

3. From the Feature list, select a Plane feature. It must be a plane.

4. From the Display area, select how you want PC-DMIS to display the constructed plane. For details, see the "Using the Display Area" topic in this documentation.

5. If you want to change the feature theoretical values, select the Feature theoreticals check box and type in the values. For details, see the "Specifying Feature Theoreticals" topic in the PC-DMIS Core documentation.

6. Click the Create button.

The Edit window command line for this option would read:
