Define a workplane to create an oblique plane. Workplanes simplify the process of
creating geometry on oblique planes in comparison to using transforms.
The use of workplanes during construction is not compulsory,
but is a more efficient method for creating geometry. For this example you will create a
custom workplane and set as the default workplane.
Note: A workplane can be defined
relative to another workplane.
Open the Create Workplane dialog using one of the
following workflows:
On the Construct tab, in the Define group, click the Add Workplane icon.
On the model tree, a right-click context menu is available on the Workplanes group.
Select Add Workplane from the drop-down list.
On the model tree, click the icon. From the drop-down list, select Add
Workplane.
Press F9 to use the keyboard
shortcut.
On the Create Workplane dialog, from the drop-down list, select Global YZ.
Use the default workplane label, Workplane1.
Click Create to create the workplane and to close
the dialog.
The default workplane is used when creating new geometry primitives. For
this example, set the new workplane as the default workplane.
In the model tree, select
Workplane1.
From the right-click context menu, select Set as
default.
Note: The current default workplane is indicated by the text,
[Default].
