RE: Constrain to a plane
You don't constrain a sketch on a plane you place it there. Within a part drawing select SKETCH and then select the plane you want it placed on. Unless you're doing something different that's all there is.

RE: Constrain to a plane
But my question was after you place the sketch on the sketch plane(i.e.XY) hoe do you constrain it to the other 2 planes(i.e XZ,YZ)
RE: Constrain to a plane
I try to use the origin planes, axis, and center point as much as possible.
You can also project part geometry from other features for locating purposes.
RE: Constrain to a plane
My problem is that I cna't constrain anything to the origin planes,axes or center point.Is there anything I should do on ,settings maybe
RE: Constrain to a plane
I try to plan ahead a little on how I am going to be putting stuff together, and often will use the YZ axis as a mid-plane and center my work around the axis.....but everyone works differently, and your technique will change as your experience level changes. I'll go back to a part I modeled 3 years ago, and ask myself "what were you doing when you made this part?"
