Editing datum planes

When editing a datum plane, you can:

  • Change its parameters and parent geometry, when allowed by its defined Plane Type.
  • Change its Plane Type.
  • Convert a relative datum plane to fixed by clearing the Associative option box, or by changing its Plane Type to that of a fixed method.
  • Convert a fixed datum plane to relative by changing its Plane Type to a relative (non-fixed) method.
  • Move a fixed datum plane by choosing Home tab → Edit Feature group → Move Feature.

How do I

  • Create a datum plane using Infer
  • Create a datum plane using offset
  • Create a datum plane using a point and a direction
  • Create a datum plane at an angle
  • Create a datum plane midway between planar faces
  • Create a datum plane through three points
  • Create a datum plane using coefficients
  • Size and resize datum planes
