Text plane

This function defines the plane according to which text is placed in a model. Select the plane alternative from the contextual toolbar.

• xy plane
• xz plane
• yz plane
• Plane defined by 3 points
• Plane of the selected surface
• Plane parallel to normal of selected surface

To xy plane

With this function, meas and dimension lines or text are defined on the xy plane. The direction of the x or y axis has been selected as the dimensioning direction of the model shown.

If a dimension/text cannot be placed on the selected layer, the program places the dimension/text on a layer formed by the two selected points and the meas/text location point (total three points).

To xz plane

With this function, meas and dimension lines or text are defined on the xz plane. The direction of the x or z axis has been selected as the dimensioning direction of the model shown.

If a dimension/text cannot be placed on the selected layer, the program places the dimension/text on a layer formed by the two selected points and the meas/text location point (total three points).

To yz plane

With this function, meas and dimension lines or text are defined on the yz plane. The direction of the y or z axis has been selected as the dimensioning direction of the model shown.

If a dimension/text cannot be placed on the selected layer, the program places the dimension/text on a layer formed by the two selected points and the meas/text location point (total three points).

To a plane formed by three points

With this function, meas and dimension lines or text are defined on a layer formed by three points. The points defining the layer are the start and end points of the dimension/text and the location of the meas/text.

To the plane of a surface

With this function, meas and dimension lines or text are defined on the layer of the selected surface. Before selecting the start points of the dimension/text, a surface is selected on the model on the level at which the dimension/text is added.

To the plane of normal of surface

With this function, meas and dimension lines or text are defined on the layer of the normal of the selected surface. Before selecting the start points of the dimension/text, a surface is selected on the model on the level at which the dimension/text is added.
