Create Axis 2

[rossly]

Here is another of my "Did it in UG" questions.

Can you create an axis that is normal to your screen?

Create it initially or have it normal at all times? I mean, you can spin your model around and then it's not normal anymore.

Please elaborate.

Here is where I would use it. If I am looking at my data and need to figure out a die draw that is off grid line and my moving the rotating the data I can get what I want for a draw angle/direction. Then I would want to create an axis that is normal to the screen. This can be done with a plane > Equation option, just wanting it for an axis.

Hope this explains it...

Rossly,
for your approximate die draw, create axis system, Right click in the z axis -- create plane -- equation and there you are. Note X axis and y axis should be set to No Selection.
