Hi Danny,

> Will the CPlane be 'saveable' in the future

Actually it should already be saveable in the most basic sense - I mean if you set up a customized cplane and then save your .3dm file the custom cplane should be saved to the .3dm file and restored when you open it later.

I guess that is possible, I suppose you mean like the way solid modelers have a list of sketch planes as part of the feature list kind of thing?

As you know MoI is not really as formalized about requiring you to define a specific sketch plane as part of the basic definition of an object, so I'm not so sure about including cplanes in the objects list, the way MoI's structure works it is more like an optional drawing tool rather than actually a part of an object.

In the future I was thinking of having some kind of list of saved cplanes but probably associate it as an option under the CPlane tool rather than in the object list... But maybe the object list could work out, we'll see, it will probably be a while before I get to that part of CPlanes.


I'll try to post some more information and examples for how the cplanes work, but the basics are that you can align it to a surface by placing the origin point on a surface, align it to the tangent of a curve by picking the origin point on a curve, and you can align it to 3 points by placing the origin at the first point, then drag the x axis line to snap it to the second point (which will then lock that particular axis down), and then drag the y axis line to snap it to the 3rd point.
