    Creating a master workplane

    To make a workplane into the master:

    • Double-click the workplane to display the Workplane dialog, and select Master.
    • Right-click the workplane and select Master from the context menu.

    The master workplane is drawn in a bolder line style when deactivated and appears at the bottom of the Workplane selector list in the status bar.

    Note: You can have only one master workplane.
