Projection failing (Not support projecting sketch geometry into same sketch)

Anonymous — Sat, 31 Oct 2020 06:07:58 GMT

Quick tidbit, does Autodesk check their spelling? "Not support projecting sketch geometry into same sketch"

Anyway, i am having continuous projection issues on many different files. This current one i just want to project the circle onto the bowl. But i keep getting "Warning: Not support projecting sketch geometry into same sketch, please change the target sketch or geometry."

I do not understand, I have created a separate sketch and it still gives me an error.

The error is pretty self explanatory, you can't project the circle into the sketch containing the circle. You need another sketch then project the circle into the new sketch.

You mean the circle can’t project onto the bowl?

Had other designs where the same error occurred. Seems to be common issue.

Did you look at the image above? It shows the circle projected onto the bow, you just need to create another sketch then with the new sketch active project the circle into the new sketch. Because of the timeline project to surface needs a sketch before the current active sketch to project from.

Just another note, the body you've created is not a valid solid and you might run into problems with some of the solid feature tools.

The circular surface at the bottom shares an edge with 2 other surfaces and this does not create a solid.

Picture shows edge and sketch with projected circle.

Can you clarify the fix for that?

Do you mean the bottom surface? If you want to fix that you need to have 2 faces with a gap.

Here's one option, I used thicken to create a solid then a sketch, revolve cut. File's attached.
