Rename or delete plane in WCS

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, i just recently started using dynamic planes to stop multiple files for different operations. I have a question about deleting or renaming the planes after they have been created. Example, I brought in an IPT solid file and went to planes, dynamic planes, set where I wanted, moved to and aligned to world origin and world axis, selected set as wcs and all is good. Ok so now I actually wanted to change the location a bit. So I I redo it, I obviously can't use the same name so I choose something else that represents the same thing but now I want to delete the old one to avoid confusion. Is there a way? On that same note, can the names be renamed. Does my description make sense? lol

I've said this many times here, but if you make two lines to represent x & y, and use them to create WCS by geometry, you can easily "change your location a bit" by using Xform Dynamic on those two lines. You can even change the tool axis, no new WCS required. No picking which WCS to use in the operations.
