I am designing a project in which it greatly helps to choose a custom cursor axis, and SoftPlan has this option but is limited to only one custom axis. I would really like to have the ability to set multiple custom axes. I'm interested to know if there are more users that would consider this a useful option.

When I have a plan with multiple angles, I insert a symbol, explode and use in conjunction with 'pick cursor axis'

 

.. quickest way I've found to change from one to the other and back, ..


.. invariably, someone will have a simpler solution.

I too use the pick cursor axis method .. so much so that I have it set on the "Y" key on the keyboard, to implement it quickly.

 

I never seen the need to have to set multiple custom axes.

I don't actually have a shortcut programmed for the 'pick cursor axis' tool, but I do have a button on my mouse programmed for 'toggle cursor axis' which switches between the last custom cursor axis and the horizontal/vertical axis. I was thinking it would be handy if I could set multiple axes and then use the toggle cursor axis option to cycle through the presets.
