Trim 3DSketch line at point it pierces plane

Trim 3DSketch line at point it pierces plane

(OP)
I am new to solidworks and want to know if there is a command that would allow one to trim a 3DSketch Line at the point that it pierces a reference plane.  Also, is there a way to rotate, change the font of or scale the reference plane labels.  Thank You.

RE: Trim 3DSketch line at point it pierces plane

Trim 3D skech line;
Select the plane and the end point of the line, then use the On surface constraint.
NOTE: This may alter the angle of the line, so you may have to first constrain or "fix" the position of the line.

Ref' Plane Name Font;
As far as I know, only by changing the Windows default font, but that will also change the font used by SW in other areas of the UI.

cheers
