Problem regarding projection in Fusion 360

Anonymous — Sun, 29 Oct 2017 06:34:23 GMT

Hi, i am new to this fusion 360. I met problem regarding the issues of projecting line on the surface. I can't project the line onto the sphere surface and it is really frustating.

The warning shows **Not support projecting sketch geometry into same sketch,please change the target sketch or geomery**. I dont understand, somebody help me explain why this happened. ;(

The problem is described in the error message. You cannot project a line from a sketch onto a surface in the same sketch. So, you just need to exit that sketch, create another one, and project the curve to the sphere:
