Thanks for the visual example Burr!

Works like a charm: :-)



I'll have to make it a point to include some of these alignment/orient tools in my workflow.

Thanks for the detailed explanation Michael - there appears to be many useful things that can be done with these tools.
You can also use C-Plane to draw 2D elements in any peculiar axis, say if you wanted to project shapes more cleanly to an angled surface.

Yup! Basically anytime you would have been considering doing something like repositioning objects to align them to the world axes to do some kind of drawing operation and then putting them back in their angled position later, you can instead set the construction plane so that all your drawing and modeling commands will operate in that angled location directly.

That's usually quite a few less steps especially because it's easier to reset the cplane when you're done, you don't have to move any objects around.
