Reference Entities. Displays the selected entities.

One Line/Edge/Axis. Select a sketch line, an edge, or select View, Temporary Axes and then select the axis that is displayed.

Two Planes. Select two planar faces, or select View, Planes, and then select two planes.

Two Points/Vertices. Select two vertices, points, or midpoints.

Cylindrical/Conical Face. Select a cylindrical or conical face.

Point and Face/Plane. Select a surface or plane and a vertex point, or midpoint. The resultant axis is normal to the selected surface or plane through the selected vertex, point, or midpoint. If the surface is non-planar, the point must be on the surface.
