Defining Longitude and Latitude Angles

[Janaskhel]

Can someone guide me how to define the longitude and latitude angles to a line in a 3D sketch.

Use planes and dimensions.

Relations may also come in very handy depending on what you are doing.

A mixture of both is the best way.

Can you define your question better? Are you using the 3D Sketch tool?

If so, you can use the Tab button to change which planes you are sketching on, and add dimensions for angels as required.

Selecting your tab adjusts the XY, YX, ZY, ZX option while making your 3dSketch. If that's not what your looking for, then offset planes as needed first. Then when using lines in your 3DSketch you can make collinear relationships to them. With a spline you can only add Coincident relationships between the points.
