Projecting Geometry in a Drawing Sketch

[Anonymous]

How do you project geometry in a drawing view to make a sketch?

[pgannon18]

Select view before hitting the sketch command to make it a view sketch, not an overall drawing sketch. Select project geometry, select the lines you want to project, right click, done.

Hello,
Did you try to find the answer in the online help?
Below is a procedure from the "Autodesk Inventor > Drawings > Create drawing views >
Projecting geometry to a drawing sketch" help page (Inv2010):

1.Create a sketch attached to a drawing view, or open an existing sketch.
2.On the ribbon, click Sketch tab > Draw panel > Project Geometry.
3.Select the geometry to project.
4.Right-click, and then select Done [ESC] to project the selected geometry to the sketch.

The help page includes also an illustration of the procedure.

Does this answer your question?
