how draw line in x + y directions of specific planes?

dear all,

i've made a plane perpendicular to a line, a then want to use the x and y coordinates of that new plane to draw new lines..
can't figure it out.
how can this be done?

much thanks

Create the points as you would in the plane, then use the orient component to "translate" those points into world coordinates. The orient component will take two planes... one of those should be the plane you're translating from and the other should be the world XY plane. After they're "translated" you can use them as you would normally
you can also use the "Plane Components" component (Decompose a Plane into its component parts) to find the x, y, and z vectors of any plane that you make.
Dear Damien, Benjamin,

Thank you for the feedback. I found plane components to work well.
I noticed that in the expression designer there's a way you can change the world plane to your input parameter plane. Have you used this?
