When I change the view to Top, why has my part moved on the Y axis? My Workplane is set to Global. I used a 2D CAD program, for years, but Workplane is new to me. Are there any tutorials about Workplane. I think it might be my problem, but I don't understand it. Thanks Colin

I use that a lot and have set up a shortcut key to toggle it on/off (File- short cuts- snap- work plane). When moving in just one direction you can use the axis constraint by pressing the relevant key (X/Y/Z), although I have seen that wonder off some times. - Steve
