Options

The following options are available to create your inclined workplanes.

:COPY - the new workplane is given a separate copy of the fixed workplane's geometry. Changes in one workplane will have no effect in the other, or any other subsequent copies.
:SHARE - the new workplane is given a copy of the specified workplane's geometry. If changes occur in either workplane, they will be reflected in all shared copies of that workplane.
:SOURCE - specifies that the new workplane will be used as a reference.
:BASENAME - specifies a prefix to be used as a naming convention. For example, if you specified "wpl" as a basename, your workplanes would be called "wpl1", "wpl2", "wpl3" and so forth.
:OWNER - specifies the owner of the new workplanes.
:KEEP_ATTR - when sharing a workplane, selects whether the attributes of the original workplane are discarded in the shared workplane (:KEEP_ATTR :OFF), or whether the attributes are preserved in the shared workplane (:KEEP_ATTR :ON).
:COUNT - specifies the number of new workplanes you want to create.
:AXIS - specifies the axis of rotation. The axis must lie in the plane of the reference workplane.
:INCLINE_ANGLE - specifies the angle between each workplane.
:AXIAL_OFFSET - specifies the offset between each workplane.

When to use

Use this action to create one or more workplanes inclined to an existing workplane.

CREATE_INCLINED_WP may be useful when generating profiles for a spun part.

Example

The following parameter sequence creates an inclined workplane.

CREATE_INCLINED_WP :COPY [specify original workplane] :SOURCE [specify reference workplane] :BASENAME "wpl" :OWNER [specify workplane owner] :COUNT 1 :AXIS [use MEAS_AXIS_3D_SA] COMPLETE
