Redefining planes

[Mario.VanWiechen]

I just lost a plane reference and now the plane needs to be redefined.

It was a simple " Offset from PLane " but I have never found a way to redefine a plane that loses its reference. 

I always end up creating a new plane that causes issues down the line.

Anyone been able to make this work?

Hi

It depends on how the working plane was created. Find the item in your browser; right click and look for Redefine.

I have found the " redefine " many times but Inventor does not seem to remember how the plane was created.

As I posted it was a basic " Offset From Plane "  but redefine does not give those options

Oh well another Inventor "thing" to deal with. Just create a new plane and live with the results

Hi Mario,

It is true when a grounded workplane or an adaptive workplane (or missing reference) is redefined, the source geometry will not be highlighted.

Many thanks!

like you and found this solution, maybe it helps. Actually you just have to drag from the new plane you want to offset and it opens the distance command box ...
