Isn't this just the same as a custom transform orientation? Click on the face you want the orientation of then hit "+" under the transformation orientation drop down. Now you can use it at any time you want.

* @daniellapalme * It's works, but just as pivot orientation, would be good to have opportunity, bake this orientation to global object rotation. It's very handy in case when we applied rotate transformation

* @ingwarklints * Oh, like applying the locrot in that specific orientation. So that in local mode it will just always act like that? I see

This proposal still needs some refinement. It's not really sufficient to post a video of another application's feature and say, "Make it like this."

How would it work using Blender's paradigms and interface? Include mock-ups and images that clear describe what you're envisioning.

* @Jason van Gumster * I think video good ilustrated how it should be. it's very simple, when we aligned our 3d cursor by element, would be good have opportunity bake it vector orientation to object orientation. This is very handy practice in modeling
