Automatically Creating Face Coordinate Systems

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

  1. Click Tools > Options > Modeler Options.

    2. The Modeler Options dialog box appears.

  2. In the Operation tab, select Automatically switch to face coordinate system.
  3. Click OK.

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

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