This task shows you
how to create a temporary axis. It will allow you to create an axis
at any location.
The current axis is
the reference point by which elements are routed and placed. It is also the
reference point from which an element's position is determined (as
displayed in the X,Y,Z fields on the Definition dialog box for an element).
When you create a temporary axis it allows you to place or manipulate
resources with reference to that axis.

and click on the
temporary axis you just created. The temporary axis can now be used as the
reference axis.

You can also use the compass to
define the plane for a temporary axis. To place a temporary axis at the
compass base plane, first drag the compass to the plane where you want the
axis.
You will have to
delete the temporary axes in the specifications tree when you no longer
need them.
