3. Under Source workplane, specify the following:
   1. Under Origin, specify the origin for the source workplane.
   2. Under U vector and V vector, specify the workplane orientation.
   3. Under Rotate workplane, specify the angle to rotate the workplane by.
4. Repeat Step 3 for the Destination workplane.
5. Click OK to create align the selected geometry part and to close the dialog.
   Tip: Press Ctrl+Shift at the location of the desired origin in the 3D view.
