Description

The Part DatumPlane command creates a datum plane object that can be attached to other objects. A datum plane is one of several datum objects. A datum object is typically used to attach multiple other objects to. If the position or orientation of a datum object changes, all objects attached to it will follow.

A datum object can also provide a geometric reference for a feature or operation. Depending on its type it may for example be used as a direction vector, a rotation axis or a mirror plane.

Usage

See Part CoordinateSystem.

Notes

See Part CoordinateSystem.

Properties

See also: Property View.

A Part::DatumPlane object is derived from an App::Plane object. All its properties are inherited except those listed under Attachment.
