Datum axes and planes

Using Inventor 2012 how does one go about creating datum axes and planes in order to sketch a part?

In Inventor, three axes and three planes already exist in each new part.  These are called the origin axes and planes.  Typically, unless you have changed your application options to "No new sketch", Inventor 2012 opens a new part with a sketch already active on the XY plane.  Is this not what you're seeing, or are you asking in advance of actually using Inventor?

Are you coming from experience with another program?
