Summary	0004108: Coordinate input not always relative to current working plane
Description	If the current working plane is not one of the main working planes, coordinates entered via the keyboard are interpreted as global coordinates.
Steps To Reproduce	Please open the attached file and do the following: Switch to the Draft WB. Align the current WP with Rectangle001. Make sure only Center snap is on. Start the Draft circle command and hover over Rectangle001. The Task panel shows the coordinates as 0,0,0. Click the point and create the circle. Now create another circle but instead of clicking a point for the center enter 0,0,0 in the Task panel. Result: The center of the last circle is the global origin and not the origin of the working plane. Note that the labels for the coordinate fields for the center are confusing: In the test above: Center X Global Y Global Z If you align the working plane with one of the faces of the Extrusion the labels are: Center X Local Y Local Z If point entry is always relative to the current working plane (as it should be) using 'Local' or 'Global' is unnecessary, If global coordinates are required the user can switch to the XY-plane.
