Bug in sketch projection?

[Helmi74]

I really have a hard time getting reliable results when projecting stuff from faces/other sketches to a sketch.

I've prepared a short screencast to show an actual case:

https://screencast.autodesk.com/main/details/8ee06718-94d3-4a6b-ba11-1608b7663a3f

(i tried the embed code but the forum said it is invalid HTML?)

Any idea/help?

I unfortunately can't share the design but i think that's not special to my design.

EDIT: after finishing the screencast i noted that even if i click line by line to project and accidentally click a few pixels to the left or right of a line and hit the face the complete projection get's "destroyed" in a way that the faces don't work anymore.

I'm wonderng if the profiles are being hidden from view when a single sketch has a large number of profiles. This may be on purpose for performance reasons. Have you tried right clicking on the Sketch in the Browser and seeing if the Show Profiles/Hide Profiles option is available? You may need to select Finish Sketch after the projection.

Could you share an F3D model with me?  Feel free to e-mail it direct to Nathan (DOT) Chandler (AT) Autodesk (DOT) com. 

On a side note if you like to embed a ScreenCast, you have to select the Embed Link from the ScreenCast webpage. There's usually some <iframe =...> text in it. It also lets you size for the Autodesk Discuasion group as a bonus. Then take the embed link and copy and paste it directly into the HTML tab in your forum post.

Hi Nathan,

re:screencast i exactly did this and got the error that the HTML was invalid. Will try it again next time.

I cannot share an F3D model unfortunately but i will try to reproduce the problem as i already had it multiple times.

The first issue that is definitely reproducable is the problem that you only can project a sketch line by line instead of the whole thing which would make life really easier sometimes. Regarding the broken faces i will try and see if the show/hide profile option changes things.

are you on os x? you can use quicktime for a screencast and many online storage systems such as Google drive to host the file. Or for Windows there are other pretty neat tools such as

Claas, Screencasting works well for me - just the embed code i got from the Autodesk Screencast site didn't work in the forums. The screencast is linked in my post above.

OMG - I did not see the code there hahaha silly me.

BTW while the embedding did not work going to the screencast on OS X finally allows me to see it full screen. which seems not to work with OS X and embedded screencasts.

I suspect that Frank is correct, this is a bug.  Nathan, if you have the model, we can take a look.  This should work OK.

Do you have a file you could share with us?

How to share a public link in Fusion 360:

If you would prefer to keep the file private, feel free to e-mail it to me at nathan.chandler@autodesk.com.

It's the same file I posted a bit ago in another thread.

Sketch1 was created by doing a project body silhouette.  I was monkeying with the file a bit so it would be better to create a new sketch and do a new projection.  I've tried a few times and it doesn't create a closed profile.
