Intersection of two planes? 1

Hi

How can I get the intersection line between two planes?
For example the top and front planes, but could also be any other user defined plane.
I've tried with the command "intersection curves" but it doesn't allow me to select the planes as surfaces.
I've also tried choosing a plane and trying to "convert entities" with the other one, but it doesn't work either.

You can create an axis using two planes.
In a sketch, you can constrain a line to be colinear to both planes.

Hi

I knew I could place an axis but that axis can't be used as a common sketch.
Anyway, your tip on make a line contained on both planes could be what I need.

Thanks
 
I don't know why one can not just pick one of the main space axis
 
Make the axis, then sketch on the axis. That probably takes less time than it took for me to type this.
