system command

Syntax

sketch set system keyword ...

Primary keywords:

origin    u-axis    v-axis    w-axis

Set the coordinate system. These settings affect how extruded object coordinates (u,v,w) map to global coordinates (\(x,y,z\)). Local coordinate w and global coordinate \(z\) are 3D only.

origin v

Set the origin of the extrusion transformation v (2D or 3D vector). The translation of the origin precedes the rotation from the local to global system.

u-axis v

Set local horizontal u-axis (2D or 3D vector v).

v-axis v

Sets local vertical v-axis (2D or 3D vector v).

w-axis v (3D only)

Set the normal (out-of-plane) w-axis v (3D vector) for the extrusion (perpendicular to the construction uv plane).
