I'm not sure I understand this request. I'm on Creo 4, given 2 perpendicular axis, I can create an coordinate system.

Sorry for not fully explaining.

Unable to create using axis and plane or surface. If can be done with 2 axis, then can be done with axis and plane or surface.

With an axis and a plane/surface, you don't have that last orientation. One "leg" of the coordinate system is unconstrained.

Software does NOT allow you to select another orientation feature.

there is an orientation tab, it will give you the ability to add and orientation reference

Awsome, Thanks. Never knew I could add a reference on that tab.

Given the conversation, I am assuming that this need is covered. 😀

@WayneSchrock thanks for asking and @StephenW, thanks for pointing to the right spot!
