Procedure

Understand the User Coordinate System in 3D
When you work in 3D, the user coordinate system is useful for entering coordinates, creating 3D objects on 2D workplanes, and rotating objects in 3D.
Control the User Coordinate System in 3D
Several methods are available for manipulating the user coordinate system in 3D. You can also save and restore user coordinate system orientations.
Use the Dynamic UCS with Solid Models
With the dynamic UCS feature, you can temporarily and automatically align the XY plane of the UCS with a plane on a solid model while creating objects.
