Local coordinate system

[mark.martin.se]

Hi,....

Is it possible to draw something in a user defined local coordinate system (e.g... panels, beams etc)?

....just want  to draw some purlins of a complicated roof!

Regards!

You can use Local Working Plane but not system.

So,.I can only work/draw in a global coordinate system!?

I tried "Local Working Plane" before opening this thread, but couldn't define any structure axis, etc.

Yes, coordinates are in global system.

Structural axes must be defined in global system.
