You try to align a Draft plane in Part design wb. It is a bug that this plane menu is visible when Part design is open.

Work with the Part design plane, the Draft plane is made properly

You rotate the body after setting the plane and the plane will not follow the body

Thanks for your replay. It may be the resolution of the video is very low (to respect the forum upload size), but It is clear that it a body created in the Partdesign WB and then moved to draft WB to make some other operations and this is possible in FC. the active WB in the video is Draft. So no menu bug is there.

Draft_SelectPlane

or just click a face and then use the "current wp" icon in the standard layout for toolbars (says auto if you have not changed it).

Hello Heda, this can be done on part or body or shape tha is not transformed. But with transformed body, we got different results.

I avoid such problems by simply making a copy in part of parts from the partdesign wb before using them
