Aligning a sketch, to another on a different plane (at 90°).

[crogers1146]

Hi all, I am trying to align/snap one existing sketch onto another.  In the screen shot I am trying to align the corner of one with the central point in the circle.  In the first the screen shot the sketches are on different axis. The circles are not 90° to the X,Y,Z, but off on an angle hence it kinda looks off.  I have corrected this by creating a new sketch off the same plane as the circles and rotating it until it is 90° to them. 

The distance between the points is irrelevant but they need to be onto of each other horizontally and vertically.

I have tried moving the sketch around, eye balling it but was hoping there was a more precise way. Also tried projecting the central point of the circle into this sketch, but still had no way to snap onto it with that corner.

Thank you.

Hi,

Please share the file.

In the 2nd sketch you Create > Project > Project

the items you need into the 2nd sketch, (with Link) and any changes will carry through.

Snap the 2nd sketch articles to the purple point Project creates, in this case.

Plane on Angle can be set at any angle, using a centre line for that circle as the source selection.

Might help...

Sorry cant share the exact file (has 3d scans and other specs in it). I did recreate the same idea in a new file.  

So for this, I would like to align the left corner (red arrow) with the centre circle point.  The two sketches were create separate from each other, and I would rather no have to recreate it again to align to the central point.

I know i can project and use that central point as an anchor/link, but I would like to avoid this recreation. The reason I would like to avoid this is because on the real drawing, it was a massive pita to get the sketch to be properly constrained and fully updatable to any needed dimension changes.

Edit the sketch, use the Move (sketch command) with the option "point to point".

Model attached.

Create components like this.

Awesome, thank you that worked perfectly.
