Creo Elements/Direct Modeling - Switch to turn off auto rotate while drawing on a WP

Creo Elements/Direct Modeling - Switch to turn off auto rotate while drawing on a WP

Hello Community,

 

Would it not be great to have a switch to turn off the auto-rotated of a preselected WP (like the screenshot) and then start the 2D command from the mini tool bar?

 

 

Whats your optinion?

 

Thank's Thomas

I´m not sure if I understand correct:
Try   File / Settings / 2D Copilot / Misc / Automatic Zoom off

Nice Try WoHo,

 

But try only to have a turned WP like the picture above and then start to scetch a line or a rectangle e.g., then the WP is turning to be planar with the VP. What you mentioned affects only the creation of a WP on an existing 3D geometry or implicit WP creation while directly scteching on an a 3D face.

 

Please let me knwo if it now clear.

No - with Automatic Zoom off
If you select a workplane you get the mini toolbar. You can select any function from the mini toolbar and the wirkplane will not rotate.

Hi Thomas,

I thought you tested it "before" writing an answer.
Nice to help the specialist.  😉

Hi WoHo,

 

I thought I tested it alreday before you suggested it. But anyway, errors happen every where. Smiley Wink

to @whofer, yes I saw that -  As part of a clean-up of ideas in wrong/outdated buckets/labels, I also updated some status of older ones, therefore adding the comment.
