coordinate system

Hi

Is there a way to rotate and position a newly created coordinate
system and then create planes on the axis of the coordinate system.

If not is there a solidworks addin that can be purchased?

Thanks

 

Why not just define it where you want it?

 

There is probably more the one way to do this.
Sketch lines for the three x,y,and z axis. Insert, Reference Geometry,
Coordinate System using these sketches. Using the sketches, insert Reference
Geometry, Planes.

When you think about it there has to be three points to define a Csys.
That will also define one plane.

It is an interesting thought to have a copy of Front, Right and Top go
alone with a Csys.

 

Well .......
Often one location/point (the first) is used to define the origin,
the second to define the X axis (relative to the first) and the
third established the Y axis direction from the first point and
at right angles to the X axis. The Z axis follows from te origin
point & the right-hand rule (execpt in places like Europe IIRC,
where the left hand rule is used).

OR three non-colinear points may be used to define a plane.
