Tip:Required Step 1 
: Define the origin point and the X axis direction.
Change the sketch orientation
InvokeInvoke the Edit Sketch Orientation Sketcher tool.
The current origin point is selected and a direction arrow is displayed on it. The default direction is that of the X axis in the current sketch.
Define the origin point and the X axis direction.
Use the direction arrow to set a different X direction.
If required, select another origin point. When another origin point is selected, the direction arrow moves to it (keeping its existing direction). Sketcher points may not be selected.
You may also select a different UCS. In this case, the direction arrow points to the X direction of the selected UCS and the UCS origin is selected as the sketch origin.
Note: Selecting a different UCS orientation will change the X direction of the sketch but not the sketch plane. As such, the selected direction cannot be perpendicular to the sketch plane.
When OK 
is clicked in the Feature Guide, the selected direction will become the X direction of the sketch and the origin point will become the origin point of the sketch. The plane of the sketch does not change.
