Creating Reference Geometry using Reference Coordinates
Rapidform offers a lot of different methods to generate Reference Geometry. From extraction to definition, you can find a description of how to use all these methods by looking at the Help document, or by pressing F1 during the command. After a support call, I realized that there is a method not explicitly described, and I'd like to share that method now.
The Method
If you have Reference Coordinates in your model and would like to generate Reference Geometry based on those coordinates (ie. creating a plane that is parallel to the Ref. Coordinate's z-direction), its easy to do in XOR. In this example, we'll create a ref. ...

CAD in Context, How Physical Parts Factor-In to Your Digital PLM World
Do you have physical parts laying around with no CAD?
