Automatically Creating Face Coordinate Systems

You can instruct the modeler to automatically create a new face CS every time you draw on an object's face.

  1. Click Tools> Options> General Options.

    The Options dialog box appears.

  2. In the tree on the left side of the dialog box, select 3D Modeler> Operation.
  3. In the Coordinate System section, select Automatically switch to face coordinate system.
  4. Click OK.

Now, when you select a face, and then click a drawing command, a new face CS will be created on the selected face. The modeler automatically sets the new face CS as the working CS, and the object you draw is oriented according to the new face CS.

Note:

The modeler will not automatically create a new face CS if a face CS has already been assigned to the selected face.
