Available in: Sketch

Project (or convert) the intersection of a surface or face and the active sketch plane onto the sketch plane.

  1. Create a sketch using an intersecting plane as the sketch plane.
  2. Select Intersection tool icon from the Use icon dropdown menu.
  3. Select the surface or face with which to create the new sketch.

The resulting sketch seen with the part, below.

Example of Intersection tool in use

  • The sketch updates when the underlying geometry changes.
  • The sketch is constrained with the Intersection and Pierce constraints where the sketch intersects the plane or surface/face of the original model.
