Is there is a way to define a reference plane between two concentric edges?

RE: Create A reference plane (special case?)
A cylindrical surface is the closest yo will get.
... or a flat plane placed between two points on concentric circles?
Create some sketch geometry to define the points then place a plane using that geometry.
An image would help describe what you need.

RE: Create A reference plane (special case?)
Use the Mid-Plane option, and select the two flat faces adjacent to the edges.
RE: Create A reference plane (special case?)
in my case, those faces are not accessible in all situations (fillet or chamfer before adjacent faces). This is for a macro and although is possible, the amount of coding to acquire the faces, create planes, etc.. is far more work. I will use your sketch geometry idea instead. Thanks!!
