Accessing Existing Working Plane Positions

Initially, when the working plane position has not yet been changed, the only position saved in the Working Planes palette is that of the ground plane location. Once the position of the working plane has been changed, there are two ways to access existing working plane positions.

Accessing Working Plane Positions from the Current Drawing Session

To access unsaved working plane positions:

1.	Select Window > Palettes > Working Planes.

The Working Planes palette opens.

2.	Click the left and right arrow buttons to cycle through the last ten unsaved positions from the current drawing session. These positions are not permanently saved with the drawing.

Once it has been named, a working plane position can no longer be accessed with the left and right arrows.

Saving and Accessing Working Plane Positions

The working plane position can be permanently saved with the drawing and accessed later from the Working Planes palette. Once named, the plane position is no longer included in the list of the working planes accessed by the left and right arrows on the Working Planes palette.

To permanently save a working plane position:

1.	Select Window > Palettes > Working Planes.

The Working Planes palette opens.

2.	Select the working plane position to save.

The left and right arrows cycle the drawing area through the most recent working plane positions.

3.	Click Add.

The Assign Name dialog box opens.

4.	Enter a name for the working plane position.

5.	Click OK. Saved working plane positions are displayed in alphabetical order in the palette. To access a saved working plane position, double-click its name in the Working Planes palette.
