CubeCAD is a full 3D CAD environment that allows you to move your mouse to any arbitrary point in the three-dimensional coordinate space. A work plane is the plane on which the mouse cursor is located and moves freely around. When you start the [[EM.Cube]] application, the mouse always moves on the XY plane, meaning that the XY plane is your default work plane. In addition, [[EM.Cube]] shows the project workspace's grid, and its "Snap-to-Grid" mode is enabled by default. As you move the mouse around, it snaps to the grid points. This provides a convenient way to draw objects with precise dimensions and at precise locations. The coordinates of the current location of the mouse are reported in the Status Bar.

Using the View Toolbar, you can easily change the work plane to any of the three principal coordinate planes:
