How to modify WorkPlane Offset

[carlosc]

I'm a new user in inventor 7 and i'd like to know how to modify an existing workplane.

Hello,

One way to do that is to Re-define the plane.

What i usually do is make a construction sketch for the workplane. I dimension the sketch off another feature that does not move or change (if possible), The sketch is usually just one line. Then when i create the workplane i select that line and another existing plane to get the new work plane. I'll turn off the construction sketch so it's not in the way. If i ever need to change the offset or angle i just turn the visibility for the sketch back on and edit , change the dimension needed and the workplane stays with it.

Seems to work very good for me in controlling it's location, offset or angle, etc.

Anyhow, Hope this helps you.
