Changing Sketch Axis

Changing Sketch Axis

Changing Sketch Axis

(OP)
Hello,

I created a new axis system and would like my sketch H and V direction to be oriented to my new axis system not to the absolute axis. I know you can orient the H and V direction using the "Positioned Sketch" tool, but that approach is a bit tedious for every sketch I shall be making. Is there a way to set your sketch H and V directions to align automatically to your new axis system every time you enter the sketcher workbench? Thank you.

RE: Changing Sketch Axis

One little trick I do, is copy & paste a similar sketch that is on the same support plane.
