Here is another of my "Did it in UG" questions.  

Can you create an axis that is normal to your screen?

RE: Create Axis

Create it initially or have it normal at all times?  I mean, you can spin your model around and then it's not normal anymore.

Please elaborate.

RE: Create Axis

Here is where I would use it.  If I am looking at my data and need to figure out a die draw that is off grid line and my moving the rotating the data I can get what I want for a draw angle/direction.  Then I would want to create an axis that is normal to the screen.  This can be done with a plane > Equation option, just wanting it for an axis.

Hope this explains it...

Rossly,
   for your approximate die draw,   create axis system,  Right click in the z axis -- create plane -- equation and there you are.  Note X axis and y axis should be set to No Selection.

Derek
