I'm referring to the little X/Y/Z `coordinate system' that one uses to facilitate sketching on a plane (which, after all is pretty much how almost everything starts in your typical parametric solid modeling program, such as SW).
As much as I HATE AutoCAD, one thing that's good about it is how easily one can align any user coordinate system any way one needs it - makes it much easier to make use of orthogonal constraints in drawing and in dimensioning.
The creation on Planes has improved over releases in the past in SW, but I still don't see a good way (or ANY way, for that matter) to, for instance, get your X direction aligned with existing geometry. Wouldn't that be nice to be able to do that? Am I maybe missing something, here?
