Creating an Object CS that is Both Offset and Rotated

To create an Object CS that is both offset and rotated:

1. Set the working CS.

2. Select the object

• Behavior is combination of offset and rotated object CS. You are first prompted to select origin as in Object CS>Object and then axes as in Object CS>Rotated.

• In 2D modeler, you are asked to select only the origin and X axis. The Y axis is computed as for Object CS>Rotated. Face picking is not available in 2D modeler as it defines the direction out of plane.
