Dynamically set the workplane based off existing geometry about cad_sketcher HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks @hlorus for sharing the following GIF. I uploaded it here, for Passerbys...

I agree that would be nice, the difficulty is that the workplane would have to reference existing (mesh) geometry and update when it's changed. I haven't yet looked into such references though...

Not quite sure what's ment with "no way to create a non-orthogonal workplane"? You can create workplanes at any point in any direction with the workplane tool.

Cool. using how do you rotate it to specific dimensions in space? Can you rotate it after the fact, once it's placed?

updating when changed, could be a future roadmap. Maybe at first it's not dynamically tied--you're just using the existing geometry to set it.

You can enter exact angles from the redo panel.

Yeah i thought about that, might make sense..

This functionality is already implemented. Having workplanes move with the mesh they're placed on is tracked in #10.
