I am following a tutorial where to create a 3D solid out of a sphere and two circles drawn in different planes (Front and Right) which are then extruded and unioned to the sphere to form a pipe bend.
After drawing the sphere, I change to one of the side views and try to draw circles in different planes. However the circles are always showing up in the top plane.
I tried changing the dynamic UCS but no success.
Is there a setting I have to change?
Thanks

Hi,
Usually dynamic ucs ( F6 ) allow objects to be drawn on that specific plane. you may need to turn off the object snap and 3d object snap ( F3 , F4 ) .

i just want to remind that you have to work on a 3d Solid object type not any other types . can you attache here some of your dwg to check it ?

Thanks for your guidance. Please see screenshot of a sphere, and I am trying to draw a circle from the centre line but orientated to the front view. However the circle is expanding in the plane of the top view. I have the snap on to get the centre of the sphere.
sorry if this is super old but im having the same problem. on start up, xy plane is active so i am drawing on "top" i don't want to do that, i want to draw on "front" (xz or yz, i don't care) the screen shot you show, in the view tab, i do not have what you are showing as being in the view tab.
open 3d autocad, sketch directly on "front" plane, how would i do this without first drawing a box to have reference planes?
