ACS tool box

The tools in the ACS tool box are used to define and manipulate an auxiliary coordinate system (ACS) — a coordinate system you define that differs from the design plane (world) and view coordinate systems. For general information about using an ACS, see 3D auxiliary coordinate systems.

One ACS can be active at any time in a 2D or 3D design. While ACSs can be used in 2D, they are most useful in 3D design.
