Hello all - this is my first post on this forum.
I have been learning to use SolidWorks for a while now, and there is one thing that has been troubling me. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make the default reference planes permanent.
When I start a new part, I often begin with a sketch. Upon beginning the sketch, it will show the default planes (top, front, and right) to choose from. After this first sketch, however, these planes will never show up again.
It seems like there should be a simple way to make them stay as actual reference planes (the View menu, perhaps), but I haven't had any luck.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Similarly, it would be great to know how to convert the global coordinate axes into usable reference axes.
Thanks!
Adam
