I have two SVGs a plan and side view - I want to import them extrude them and do a boolean operation on them...
But the SVGs are a bit messed up - at random coordinates.
I think I can use draft move to bring them together, and move them to the origin, but one needs to be rotated and flipped into the vertical plane...
I could move/rotate in another program, but can't change planes and would really prefer to do the fiddling in freecad.
Can this work?

Re: Importing a SVG to a different plane/axis.
OK started programming some stuff to turn parts into sketches...
Then found out more about the draft workbench - once I'd worked out the working plane stuff it was easy to do with no programming(!).
Thanks anyway!

Re: Importing a SVG to a different plane/axis.
I don't know how to program and I don't want to go in a rabbit hole.
I just want to designate the plane for an svg import, FreeCAD doesn't show me an option but arbitrarily selects a plane that I don't know how to change later.
Help?

Re: Importing a SVG to a different plane/axis.
Put the objects in a Std_Part and manipulate its Placement.
Re: Importing a SVG to a different plane/axis.
Whenever I import an SVG it is in XY plane. If they are in a different plane at yours, do They still have the Placement (0,0,0)?
