Constrains on custom planes question

[Anonymous]

Hi.

I've created plane at angle and want to create horizontal line there according to my origin. But it creates horizontal constrain in my custom plane local coordinates. How can I make it in global coordinates? Thank You

For example I have custom plane, that is rotated on some angle, and I have outline I want to project from one of the origin planes along origin axis. Is that possible at all?

The way you're describing it, these sound like 2 very different questions.

For the first question.  The horizontal and vertical constraints are always going to be relative to the current sketch origin.  You can, however, constrain a line in your current sketch (on the plane at a custom angle)  to be parallel to a line in another sketch (such as a horizontal line in a sketch on an origin plane).

For the second question, I would need more to go on.  A screen shot or something showing what your trying to do would be helpful

I want to project something on selected sketch from the origin YZ plane, but it should be projected by origin's X axis, not this sketch's local coordinates plane.

It's not obvious, but project to surface will do what your describing.  Instead of picking a surface, you pick a plane to chose from (in this case the same one the sketch is on)  then set the project type to "along vector", and select the x axis as the vector.

Here's a screen cast-

Wow! Thanks a lot!
