Thanks BurrMan - sometimes the simplest of methods solves the problem - that works a treat - That now places MOI as a seamless modelling companion to SW absolutely fantastic!

Ahh, so cool! SolidWorks LOVES cplanes! Remember you can set a "template file" with the MoI ini file, to always have the cplane on startup....

But it sounds like Michael may be able to tweak that functionality in the future to eliminate the hoop!

Anyway......

[Edit]

Just to be sure.... the custom cplane is set in MoI, correct? (Not from within SolidWorks)

Great idea Burr, that's cool it works!

It really is great new feature SW is a powerhouse especially in its documentation you cant beat its drawings sheets. Its modelling and assemblies solid and rigid but that makes conceptual development and problem solving slow bring in the gazelle of cad like MOI into the mix and you can develop a design fast once the frame work is set move into SW for final detailing and documentation while still able to advance your parent framework. The only thing missing is object names once again SW seemed to have added a new feature without baking to highest degree but I will take that up in the SW forums.

Thanks again BurrMan and Michael.
