    <description>I am working on an application for Inventor 2015 using VB.net. I need to project a 3D curve onto a body or more specifically some faces. To create this manually I start a 3D sketch, select to include the curves from a previous 3D sketch that I wish to project, use project curve to surface (next to silhouette curve) and select the appropriate inputs. I can not seem to figure out how to access the "Project to Surface" feature though the API. I am able to do an intersection curve and a silhouette curve using Sketch3D .intersection Curves. Add(Face, Work Plane) , Sketch3D .Silhouette Curves. Add(Face, Work Plane, False) respectively. Of course I need Project to Surface and thus am struggling with that one! Is it possible to access the "Project to Surface" feature in a 3D sketch through the API? Does anybody have a syntax to do this?</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, the "Project to Surface" command is not currently supported by the API.&amp;nbsp; The best way to request enhancements like this is to create a new post in the Inventor IdeaStation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Depending on which options you want to use in the "Project to Surface" command, there might be a workaround you can use now.&amp;nbsp; If you were going to use the "Project along vector" option, the workaround is that you first create a surface extrusion of the curve so that the surface intersects the surface where you want the projected curve.&amp;nbsp; Then you can use the the Intersection Curve functionality in the API to create the curve.&amp;nbsp; This requires the creation of the extra extrude feature, but the resulting curve should be the same.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Adding an extrusion and intersection curve&amp;nbsp;would yield the correct curve however will clutter the model tree as there are many planes I need the curve projected to. This would be less of an issue for me if folders or groups were allowed in the part feature tree. See idea...&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideastation/allow-folders-in-part-feature-tree/idi-p/5699460" target="_blank"&gt;http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-ideastation/allow-folders-in-part-feature-tree/idi-p/5699460&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have figured out a way to add lines perpendicular to the planes and constrain them&amp;nbsp;to the pertinent features&amp;nbsp;in a&amp;nbsp; single 3D sketch. This is not as&amp;nbsp;"clean" as using a projected curve&amp;nbsp;might be but am moving forward in this direction.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
