Making the Jump V4 to V5

[merhar]

I'm just starting to work in V5 and I'm used to doing certain things certain ways. I'm curious if there are equivalent ways to work. One example I'm struggling with: when I want to do a quick layout, I would design in 2d in space and use this geometry later for generating 3D parts. Another example: I'm used to creating a session and then checking clearances by cutting planes and checking to the 2D geometry. Is there a way to do this in V5? Also, in general, how have you changed your methods of clearance checking, laying out parts going from V4 to V5?

Thanks,
