How to re-establish the sketch Plane
How to re-establish the sketch Plane
(OP)
hi,
I'm having trouble figuring out how to change the sketch support plane in my part. In CATIA V5 or solidworks, it's a simple right-click option. but I can't seem to find it in ProE WF3. Thanks.

Just a quick question.
Do you want to change the plane that the sketch is on or the plane that the sketch references for orientation.
Either way Reroute is the option that you need to use

After that clarification, you definitely want to reroute

When you reroute a feature, you are changing the basic references that the part was built upon.
You will be asked to choose a new ref or use the same ref for each plane/axis/edge that you use to develop the model in the first place. Remember that once you change the plane that you sketched the orig model on, you will also have to change the plane that the sketch refs to make the sketch align perpendicular to the screen.
Hope that makes sense

You can use the reroute functionality too but since it STILL uses the old menu manager GUI it is rather cryptic and obtuse.

Have they added an Edit Sketch option to edit a separate driving sketch instead of the Unlink Sketch option. I find it obceenly unproductive that I can't do this from feature definition if a feature fails because of a sketch problem.
In WF2 you can almost wear out the Right Button on your mouse dealing with this crap.
