2003 planes

It defaluts to 45 degrees.

How can I reset the default to be zero degrees?

Since you offer no clarification here - I'll make my own assumptions.
You're inserting a plane in your part.
This plane needs to be at an angle to another plane.
You insert this new plane, using an existing plane and an axis or an edge.
The default angle is 45 degrees.
Simply type-in a new angle.
If all else fails- double-click the new plane in your feature manager and edit the angle dimension that pops-up on your model.

Sorry to be so vague.

YES
This plane needs to be at an angle to another plane.
NO, I WANT IT PARALLEL
You insert this new plane, using an existing plane and an axis or an edge.
YES, A MAJOR PLANE IN THE ORIGINAL SW MODEL AND AN AXIS (HOLE CTRLINE)
The default angle is 45 degrees.
WHY IS IT DEFAULT AT 45 INSTEAD OF ZERO?
Simply type-in a new angle.
YER RIGHT THAT IS QUITE SIMPLE BUT I AM WAY SIMPLE MINDED AND DID IT NOT USED TO BE DEFAULT AT ZERO?
If all else fails- double-click the new plane in your feature manager and edit the angle dimension that pops-up on your model.
YES THAT WOULD WORK TOO. JUST DON'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED CHANGING WHEN MOST OF THE TIME ONE USES PARALLEL PLANES.
IS THERE A WAY TO FIX IT?

 

[TateJ]

Don't use the axis/edge.
Just use the plane you want to be parallel to.
The default shoul be a parallel plane - you select the direction.

If I do that I have to tell it how far from the plane but if I also pick the axis, it's done except I have to change the angle. Probably I should just accept that this is the way it works.

 

[TateJ]

I suppose...
Sorry, I don't have your golden ticket.
