I don't understand Work Planes

DarthLoser
Believe it or not, I've been programming in PC-DMIS for over 10 years now and I still don't understand Work Planes. I've always figured a way around it and told myself I'd learn it later when I had time.

I was having trouble with something today and finally asked a co-worker for help. He saw what I was trying to do, changed the work plane and everything's fine.

Can someone explain it to me???

  • Imagine if you will.... A cube or 1,2,3 block with holes, setting on the granite of a bridge machine.
    the top surface is Z+. A hole on the right or left sides would have a Y & Z location and the work plane is X.
    A hole facing or opposite front or rear sides would have a X & Z location and the work plane is Y.
