Automatic base reference plane display in a 2D sketch


When any 2D drawing command in the Sketch group is started in an empty document, the base reference planes are displayed automatically so that a new user can easily select a plane for sketching.

You can now show or hide the base reference planes using the following options on the Layout tab of the Customize dialog box.

  • Show base reference planes always

  • Show base reference planes when starting command
