Hello Lajos

I don't fully understand you problem but see the attached screen shot maybe this function can help.

Well is not an stupid thing, to be be fair, I think there is a matter of concept behind your question because and allow me to answer with another question

Why do you need a coordinated system if you are in the space and you can you use your spatial constraints? (mate, angle, flush, tangent, symmetry)

Unless you are dealing with BIM.

Many thx,

but this method is not help for me.

See attached screenshot: proba1a.png --> the coord system is paralel with scren plane and TOP cube detto, while this frame parts parts is NOT. Why and what resetting.

Must be making 2D dwg (.idw format) from model with bill of materials.

The older versions never produced it, and this version is onli sometimes.

See this "top view"

Hello

O I see Try the look at function (See attached Image) and if you right click on your cube you can choose set current view as.

But each assembly you make as 3 origin plans that is fixed to the cube view so you can also try constraining your main part to that planes.

I see What happen

Do this

1. Go to view Menu and click in on the icon View At
2. Then click in the face that you want to be flat (like on the XY plane)
3. The model will rotate to put that face flat on your screen in other words you will see the Orthogonal Real dimension of that face.
4. Now Careful---->Right click on the cube, and on the menu click Set current view as Front
5. However the above you can reset the front view, Right click on the cube , click on reset front view and see what happen

you might try resetting a view to FRONT and then you an manipulate which face is FRONT and the rest of your model too.

Step 1. Frame layout flat on ground plane. NOTE view cube orientation

Step 2. Current FRONT. What you want to do is select a face in your model that can be a front. Once the model is set to a given ref plane (FRONT) then you can keep turning or rotating to get the FRONT to the correct face of your model.

Lajos,

Just in case you are interested, i have created a TUTORIAL here in GrabCAD that you might find useful.

How to reset a model orientation to a known plane. Once a model is set to a known plane, you will be able to rotate and adjust your model to any other plane orientation you choose.
