Hello everyone,

I am trying to figure out how to utilize the 3-D sketch tool... since I want to create compound bends on sweep. I figure 3-D sketch would do it but I wnt to know how do you switch between planes. In "solidedge" suite this was attainable by using the control left click... is there an easy way to this to switch between diffenet planes to create a compound sweep route?

Thanks in advance

Use the TAB key while sketching. Also orient yourself normal to the viewing plan helps.

2006 will suppossedly enhance the 3d sketcher a great deal.
