one thing you can do is to create a NEW coordinate system rotated from the 'Default'. If you ever want to 'change' the orientation of the part. if you create a 'Default Coordinate System' now, it will ALWAYS create it with the same orientation as in example 1, and you will not be able to edit it's definition. However, a VERY important thing to note: even if you create your 'first' coordinate system as I showed in the second example. Note how the blue-green-red are matched to different axes than in the first example, and I've simply renamed the datum planes. If you create your datum planes first, and THEN your coordinate system, you can create something like this as you desire. If you want your start part to use a coordinate system with a different orientation, you can define your datum planes first, then create a regular coordinate system to orient it differently.Īka - if you create your 'coordinate system' (and then three datum planes), you will get this:

If the first feature in your model (or your 'start part') is a coordinate system - it will actually create a 'Default Coordinate System', because there is nothing else in the part to use as a reference. So, the first feature in your tree can either be:

Creo reserves this internal 'Default Coordinate System' - that always set the same orientation.īasically, Creo always needs something to use as a reference. There are two types of coordinate system features in Creo - the normal 'Coordinate System', and the 'Default Coordinate System'.
