  3. Click OK in the 3D Shape dialog box.
    The new 3D Shape is created under the active product.
  4. Click OK in the 3D Shape dialog box.
    • The new 3D Shape is created under the active product.
    • The Axis System Definition dialog box appears. The axis system's parameters Origin, X axis, Y axis, and Z axis are automatically computed, and Default (Computed) appears in the boxes.
  • Important: You switch from Assembly Design app to the last representation app you used.
    1. Select Parallel through point.
    2. In the Reference box, select a plane.
    3. In the Point box, select a point.
