3D sketch following new Cordinate system

3D sketch following new Cordinate system

(OP)
I created a new Coordinate system. This is oriented with a compound angle with the origin.

How can I have a new 3D sketch drawn with respect to the new Coordinate system.

Thanks for sharing your comments, Tick. I wish there was a better use for this feature.

RE: 3D sketch following new Cordinate system

I would make the features in the Global and then do a move copy.  I agree that using the new coordinate system would be way better though.  I hope this helps.

The only use I've seen and used for an alternate coordinate system is for use with mass properties calculations when I used to work in robotics.

2D sketches will respect a user-created CS, but I believe 3D sketches always adhere to the global CS.
