Snap to geometry on different plane

I have a sketch on plane XY and I have another plane at an angle, which I would like to work on. How can I create a sketch on the angled plane, using the geometry from the XY sketch and which I can snap to?

Try projecting the sketch elements into your new sketch.

Hi  tmccar,

 

How to Project Geometery:

If you need to do this often, you might want to enable the Autoproject edges during curve creation option, found by going to the Tools tab > Applicantion Options button > Sketch tab.

 

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Thanks, I've got it now - I had been trying to project the geometry to the new plane by doing a 3D sketch - I didn't realise you could project the geometry from withing the sketch.
