-
Non Tight plates - Plate systems with the Tightness property defined as Non-Tight.

As an example, you can restrict selection to the reference planes of one coordinate system when multiple coordinate systems exist in the model. See Select Filter Dialog in the Common Help and Create a filter for a grid system.
