What are the defining parameters for a plane?

2 lines define a plane - right?

Nowhere in Solidworks is the option to create a plane from two lines / axis! :bang: :bang: :bang:

Damned piece of shiite!

Yeah, two parallel lines - Solidworks cannot do this.

Yet another deficiency...
Cannot extrude "From - To" - only "To" something from the plane which the sketch is on. Grrrrr

You have to remember your on a learning curve now. It's not going to be the same thing as your other CAD software was. SW can do what you want, it's just that your going to have to do it differently.

It's not a

It's that your not used to SW. Once you get over that hump you will be fine. Till then you will get a little :crazy:... :)

A philosophy I adopted years ago.... FWIW...

I see them as just different screwdrivers. I don't handle a Phillips the same way I do a Flat. So, I would expect frustration to enter into it, just as trying to use a flat blade screwdriver to pull a phillips screw can be frustrating. Either way, I like to have both in my tool box ready for when I need them.

I think you said you were using SW 2003 so this won't be of much help, but the ability to extrude from a plane other than the sketch plane is available in SW2005.
