Draft WorkingPlaneProxy

Description
This command will place a Plane Proxy object aligned to the current Working Plane.

This proxy object can be used like a face to quickly change the working plane using the Draft SelectPlane tool. The camera position and visibility of the objects in the 3D view can be saved in the proxy object, and restored at anytime when the Draft SelectPlane tool is used.



Usage

 * 1) Make sure the Working Plane is set as you want.
 * 2) Then go to the menu.

Data

 * : specifies the position of the proxy object in the 3D view. See Placement.
 * : specifies the shape of the proxy object.

View

 * : specifies the size of the arrow symbols displayed at the tip of the three axes.
 * : specifies the length and width of the proxy object.


 * : specifies the color of all elements of the proxy object.
 * : specifies the line width of the axes and arrow symbols.
 * : specifies if the is restored when the proxy object is double-clicked in the Tree view or used with the Draft SelectPlane command.
 * : specifies if the is restored when the proxy object is double-clicked in the Tree view or used with the Draft SelectPlane command.
 * : specifies the transparency of the face of the proxy object.
 * : specifies the camera position and settings.
 * : specifies the visibility state of objects.

To create a WP proxy use the method of the Draft module.

If the Draft Workbench is active the FreeCAD application object has a property which stores the current Draft working plane. The from the  method of the  object can be used to create an aligned WP proxy. The of a WP proxy in turn can be used to realign the Draft working plane.
