I want the reference point to follow the reference plane

This is a problem when working with the Metric Mass family.
I want the reference point to follow the reference plane.
Enabling and fixing dimension lines requires too many dimension lines.
Sometimes the reference point follows the reference plane and sometimes it doesn't.
It doesn't move the way I want it to.
When there are multiple reference planes, I want the reference points to follow a specific reference plane.
please tell me how

Host the point on the plane.

You need to use Reference LINES - not PLANES - if you want to host a Reference Point to it. Also  be aware that Ref. Lines have Work Planes, so you need to Set Work Plane to work on.  Lastly, note that Ref. Points can be Draw on Face or Draw on Work Plane .  Big difference between the two.

After designating a new host, it does not follow.

You need to use a REFERENCE LINE - not REFERENCE PLANE.

What I want is for the reference points to move relative to the reference line or reference plane.
How should I do that?

The reference point don`t move with the reference line.

a reference point hosted on a reference line can`t go out.

Draw on Face. I mentioned this above and provided a link for you to read.

Thanks for sending the link.
I've already read it.
The method you said doesn't work either.
Thanks for the advice.

Name the ref plane and set host by selecting from the name list.

Yes it does.  You must doing it wrong. 

 

Let's confirm what you are trying to do.  You said you want a Ref. Point to FOLLOW a "line". Is that correct?  Or do you mean that you want to HOST a Ref. Point to a "line"?

What I was trying to do was move the reference plane as a parameter based on the origin plane.
And the reference points move together along the reference plane.
By the way, you said that if i want to move the reference point, you have to do it with the reference line, not the reference plane.
Is that correct?

Is there any problem if I fill out the form in that way?
I noticed that the XYZ coordinates of the reference point change.

Like I said above, you need to host the Ref. Point to a Ref. Line Work Plane.  I don't know how to make it any clearer than that.

Hosted Ref.Points can`t extend outside the reference line.
it`s having problems working.
Thanks a lot for the advice.

Here's my last attempt.

 

Do you know how to SET Work Plane? If so, draw a REF. LINE and then press Pick a Plane and select the Ref. Line.  Now press POINT ELEMENT, choose DRAW ON WORK PLANE. and place the point directly on the Ref. Line/Work Plane.  Now move the Ref. Line. Does the Point follow? It should. Now move the Point away from the Ref. Line. Does the Point move and the Ref. Line remain stationary?  It should. Now move the Ref. Line again with the Point offset from it. Does the Point move with the Ref. Line and does the Point maintain the same offset from the Ref. Line.  It should.
