Hi Petr, also maybe I'm not quite sure which piece has the problem - the axis label thing and cplanes are pretty much 2 different areas.

Sorry Michael, actual both of them are involved, I think...

Try this:

- draw a cube
- rotate it in top and front view using edit frame
- place a Cplane on one of cube's side
- delete the cube
- NOW, go to View>Cplane and push "Reset CPlane" button
- you can see that axis icon flicks a bit, but it still remains
in more or less original position until you manipulate viewport (pan, rotate, zoom..)

Wow! Many thanks, Michael. I though I would write that scripts myself after digging in the js file or dll library via VBA for Excel object browser, for example :) -Petr

Thanks Petr, I can follow that one now and repeat it, should be easy to fix now.

Another note - a shortcut for reset cplane is to either right-click or left-click a second time on the View / CPlane button.

And you've probably seen this already, but when you use "Apply to all views", then the cplane will become global and also the Top/Front/Right views will shift to be plan views of the cplane. That's also when your typed in coordinates will use cplane coordinates as well. The Top/Front/Right view labels will show like Top (cplane) while this is active, and also the x,y,z point coordinate readout on the bottom toolbar will show a "c" in front the point coordinates to indicate they are cplane coordinates and not world coordinates that you looking at there.

If you uncheck "Apply to all views", then the cplane will only be applied to the 3D viewport and the Top/Front/Right views will remain viewing in the world axis directions and typed in coordinates will not be changed.

Hi Petr,

> or dll library via VBA for Excel object browser, for example :) -Petr

Another note - you can also use oleview.exe, it comes with Visual Studio and it also looks like you can get it here:

That will let you view the type library for a DLL, you can use it to see the moi.idl file that was used for any particular MoI release. In oleview.exe you go to File / View TypeLib and pick the moi_lib.dll file.

Hi Petr, ok that "reset cplane with no objects visible" bug is now fixed up for the next beta release, thanks for reporting it!
