Selects a construction plane.
Port - Check to use a temporary CPL of the same orientation of the selected port.
Level - When changing from one CPL to another, the active Level is reset to zero. Enter a new level for the CPL, if required, by entering a value or digitising an entity from which to take the level information.
Name - By default, the Name box contains the name of the current CPL. The list of Names contains the standard CPLs. As user defined CPLs are added to the part, the list is updated.
Select the name of the CPL or use <Digitise> to click on the appropriate CPL marker.
Input Mode - Determines whether X axis dimensions refer to Radial or Diametral values. If the mode is set to Diametral and the explicit co-ordinates X20Z20 are given, EdgeCAM takes the X value to be a diameter.
