Hi Andreas,
The Cplane function doesn't give you plain satisfaction ?

Have fun

Hi Andreas,
re:

Yes as Phiro writes above you can use the Construction Plane (View > CPlane) function to do that.
Snap the orientation picker onto the center point of those planes that you are indicating and then the ortho Top/Front/Right views will be oriented around that local frame of reference. So after you set the CPlane when you draw in the Top view you'll be drawing on that plane.
When you're done use the "Reset CPlane" button inside the View > CPlane command, or also you can right click on View > CPlane as a shortcut to resetting it back to world orientation.

Hello Phiro, hello Michael,
that was what I wanted.
It's great that it's already included in the programme.
Thanks for your help.
Bye

I was experimenting a bit with MoI V5, I made an arch and tried to rotate it, but after picking center, when I picked start point, I zoomed in simply to check if point was selected correctly and after some zooming, start point appears outside of the curve and doesn't snap to the edge of the curve no matter where I move cursor.
Why is this happening?

Hi HF,
re:

It's hard to know just from a screenshot - if you could attach the .3dm file along with it that would make it possible to analyze it.
But my guess would be that you're probably zoomed in to a super extreme level where you're seeing the effects of microscopic round off errors from how floating point arithmetic works.

I guess it's possible.
Since there is no indication of the zoom level, it's hard to tell what visualization scale is currently on screen.
Would it be possible to include some kind of status in this regard?

I can verify if you post the .3dm file that matches the screenshot.

It's possible but could be awkward to implement in perspective.
Do you have an idea of how you would like to see this status?

That was just a test, I deleted it but apparently it was as you said, I had zoomed in to a large extent.
Regarding zoom status, not having this isn't really a deal breaker but I think something visible somewhere in the UI could be useful, and it wouldn't even need to be enabled by default, just as an option for those who want it.
How to actually implement it depends on a number of things, one important being the reference for 1:1 visualization scale. I really couldn't say what's the best approach. I mean, from the practical point of view let's say you select an object of 20mm and start zooming in, by the time the screen shows only part of the object, visualization scale is obviously beyond 1:1 but right now it's not clear if screen is showing 0.5mm or 0.005 or 0.00005, etc. unless you measure something, which makes you loose focus.

Seems that dialog-boxes, even modal ones, have the arrange windows widget enabled.
Is that intentional? I've found it to be intermittently distracting, though not a deal breaker.
Great software that's easy to use.
