How to "free drag" an offset reference plane?

Rick Casey Dec 26, 2018 4:05 PM

I'm doing a tutorial and the guy in the video is able to just drag an offset reference plane over, with the intention of dimensioning it later. I can not drag mine, only type in a dimension or use the dimension box arrows. It's not a big deal but I can not find a setting for this in options. I'm using SWX 2018.

  It is on Linked In Learning so the link may not work but here it is: Creating reference planes for the bottom of the cabinet.
  He just control-left clicks a plane which opens the reference plane dialog, then is able to freely drag the new plane.

OK, now I feel goofy. The trick is to keep holding the LMB after CONTROL+LEFT CLICK to drag the new plane. If you release the LMB you can not go back and try to drag it. I'm still learning simple things even after two years.
