need intersection point of curved surface and 2 planes in assembly.

Hello All,

 

i need to find  the intersection point of a curved surface and two planes in an assembly as shown in the attachment. it seems like this can't be done in the assembly level but only in a part level.  in this screen shot, i open the curved top in the assembly,  started a sketch on the correct plane (IN MY PART), projected cut edge (gives me the cylinder face), import the 2nd plane from the assembly (never understand why this has to be done. other software allow you to dim to assembly planes directly), create a point, then constrain the point to the imported plane and curve...

 

  • is this the only way to get an intersection point into an assembly as described... plane,plane,cylindrical face ?
  • i have tried just creating a 2D sketch in the assembly, but when doing so, the "project cut edges" is greyed out

 

of course, i want to program this into our rules/programs, so just want to be sure i am approaching this correctly.

 

thanks to All for any suggestions!!
