Editing with the Workplane Viewer

Use the Workplane Viewer to modify work plane dependent elements of your conceptual model. It is a temporary view that is not maintained in the Project Browser. This is useful for editing profiles in forms, sweeps, and swept blends. The Workplane Viewer is available from all model views in the Project Environment. The default orientation is the active workplane of the last active view.

1. Select a work plane or element profile.
   
2. Select Modify | <Element> tabWork Plane panel Workplane Viewer.

   The Workplane Viewer opens to the appropriate 2D view.

   
3. Edit the conceptual model as needed.
   
   NoteIf the workplane is set perpendicular to a projection view, a dialog will prompt you to select a different view in which to work.

Modifications in either the project views or Workplane Viewer update other views in real time.
