DRAWING ON DIFFERENT PLANES
SteveD 06 Jan 2020
Newbe in Nanocad Pro. In trial version.
I'm having difficulties drawing on different planes in 3D.
What Commands do I use to change planes to draw on?
If I can't learn I will not purchase. Help!!!!! I do not want o go back to AutoCad.
Thank You,

For modify 3D view : Shift + mouse wheel pressed ... and slide mouse
For replace the UCS : command UCS option ZAxis for exemple
Tape UCS in Help Contents and index

Ok simple goal:
I draw a rectangle in xy plane the extrude up in y direction. Now I have a box or cabinet.
Next I want to draw rectangle on front face of box which is in the zx plane (similating a door on box. How do you get on that plane to draw with out changing plane orientation of box,
I have used psadd to change work plane is that correct? When I do that my original box plane orientation changes.
So confused. Thanks for any help you can give. I have used AutoCad LT for 35 years and hope to move up to 3D with Nanocad.......

Hello,
me too (AutoCad V10 and after V11 with AME .... many years ago ! /> )
Nanocad trial V11 ? .... i can't because out of date but in V5 Free, use DRAW > MESHES > Box
Or : Rectangle in x,y
Lines in corners @0,0,1200 (for exemple in mm x=0, y=0, Z=valeur)
Copy rectangle at the top or lines
After use command : UCS to move the X,Y for sketh in other plane
