Workplanes for Auto Features

Alucard
Hello everyone! I'm back with a basic question that I should probably already know...

Do I need to worry about workplanes or projection when working with auto features? For example I have two holes that I'm measuring as circles after selecting the holes on the CAD with the circle auto-feature. I haven't seen it make a difference, but I've been changing the workplane/projection every time since I started programming a couple months ago.

  • ...not for measuring them, but 2D evaluations are workplane-dependent, regardless of feature type.

    Oh...okay, so if I understand you correctly, I will need to tell the program to reference the workplane prior to reporting the position at the end of the program? Also, do I just click the dropdown for the projection plane (if projecting to a plane) or just select Z+ plane (assuming the holes are parallel to Z+)? I've noticed selecting a work plane adds a code line, but selecting a projection plane doesn't appear to change anything in the code.
