Defining Work Planes !

Hi
I am trying to make new work planes which are normal to another plane and also pass from a point. but i can not define the normal constraint, when i select a plane inventor make a plane parallel to the selected plane. how i should do it. ?

RE: Defining Work Planes !
You can create a plane offset from another by selecting the work plane tool, then selecting the plane and then selecting a point or specifying the offset distance. You can then change the "Normal" direction by RMB on the plane and selecting "flip normal". This changes the direction that a sketch will sit on the plane.
I am not certain this is what you are asking, please attach an image or the model of what you have already and I can help you better.

You can create a line on the first plane and then exit sketch. Start the Workplane command and select the line and the endpoint of the line. A workplane will be placed normal to the line.
