Creating planes in NC apps

I found geometry imported from SW (and CAD tools other than CATIA) loses parametric elements such as features and planes prepared for safety plane. Surely I can go back to Part Design to define new planes but CATIA roles are expensive and some just don't have them. xDesign is another option, but it opens the browser and brings an incoherent experience.

Is there any way I can create an empty plane directly in NC apps?
