So easy yet caused me much grief. Thankyou for this great well explained video.

[haikalyusuf]

thanks! worked like a charm! had issues with a part where a sketch had errors because i shifted the plane it was drawn on

[clivebroome]

So easy once you explained this. Thanks!

Good info, you would benefit from an H4N Recorder and a LAV mic to improve audio quality.

Your videos are a life savor! Just started new job and I’ve only worked on Autocad. Tried learning on solid professor but it’s still not as helpful.

[charlestoneoyoo]

Thank you very much for this. Your videos are top notch and life saver🔥🔥💪🏾

[shook_knight]

Fantastic. Exactly what I was looking for

[adityamishra]

Nice video, thank you. I was wondering however does the sketch stay fully constrained after changing the plane or do you need to go back into it to fully constrain it?

DEAR SIR, PLEASE LET US KNOW ON WHICH VERSION YOUR SHOWING ALL TUTORIALS OF SOLID WORKS ??

[PiyushNikam]

nice and to the point tutorial. keep it up Ryan

[ilustradsn]

thanks for your videos! question: how can I put together two shapes that are in different planes? Its not possible with an "osnap" option. ex: putting together the end point of a line with the center of a circle in a different plane.
thank you for your answer or anyone who knows

It's possible to have a plane deleted that a sketch was drawn on, thus making it an orphan sketch that can't be resolved. In such a case you can create a new plane and subsequently in the sketch properties edit the sketch plane to the new (or any other) plane.

I wished I watched this earlier. Would have saved a lot of time.

[daniarevalo]

it doesnt work for multiple extrusions, right? extrusions remain in their plane despite the piece has change planes.

[txretips]

How do you do this with a revolved boss?

[billanon]

You can do this but the actual orientation of the drawing will not change. If you start a plate on it's edge, that's where it stays regardless of this change. Or at least this does not work for 2020.

unfortunately it just wouldn't let me drag the plane I created up. I can't drag up even one spot.
