Hello,
I need a "front view coordinate system" on the center of a block, but cannot find a way to opt the coordinate system:
when I put cursore on the center of the block, it sometimes how cordinate A, B C, but njust don't show the front view coordinate
there are several option but no one is what I need, so how can I opt one of them?
Regards

Do you need it to rotate the shape? This is morph? Maybe it is just easier to rotate it in elevation?

Hello Podolsky,
that is morph, and the section is not vertical at front view, also, in elevation or setion view unable to rotate along long axis
The concerned is: there appear many coordinate options but I am unable to opt the one what I want

Thanks

You can create a 'dummy' section/elevation in the X-Y plane that you want - you can delete it later.
That can it easier to rotate in that plane.

Or you can use the 'Editing Plane' options.
This even allows you to 'Pick a Plane' - i.e. on an existing element.
