Align Work Plane X-Axis

EditWork PlaneAlign X-Axis

The Align Work Plane X-Axis command enables you to align the X-axis of the Work Plane along a direction. After starting the command you need to pick a direction to align the X-axis in the same direction. This can be done in two ways:

By selecting a straight entity that can be either a line or an edge.
By selecting a point. In this case the direction is specified by the virtual line joining the Work Plane origin and the projection of the selected point on the Work Plane.

Note that while the X-axis of the Work Plane is realigned with the specified direction, the position of the Work Plane does not change.

The Align X-Axis command can also be accessed from the context menu displayed by right-clicking on the Work Plane. You can also use the Select command to align the X-axis.

Note
In case you select an entity such that the X-axis cannot be aligned with it, you will receive a warning. This will happen if you try to select a straight line that is parallel with the Z-axis.
