I have datum planes in my model and I orient the WCS to the CSYS of the Object. I select a datum plane. What determines the direction of the X and Y axis?
I am using NX V10.

I've attached a pic of my session. I've been testing this to see if the orienting of the CSYS on the Datum Plane will change with different Datum Planes and different starting CSYS's. The Datum CSYS in the pic represents the Absolute CSYS. I haven't found anything changes it. No matter what I do when I Orient the CSYS to the CSYS of the Object (Datum Plane) the X Axis always points in the negative Z (Absolute CSYS) direction. I am curious how it picks this and if I can change it while creating the datum plane or after.
