Coordinate systems

Menu access : Tools | coordinate systems

Description :

The Tools | Coordinate system function allows you to create different coordinate systems. You choose the type of coordinate system to create using the icons available in the Icon system bar.

By default the coordinate system to create is a coordinate system on point.

You can directly create the YZ and XZ coordinate systems by using the corresponding button.

After having create your coordinate system you can:

• turn it to current

• create two complementary coordinate systems in planes xOz and yOz by option 3 coordinate systems

• set the view like the coordinate system you create (option top view).

• Rotate it around the Z axis by clicking on the modifier (the red 3D arrow)

A coordinate system is always normed and perpendicular.
