I dont know how to make another component on a face without it separating the sketch into 2 seperate components

[Anonymous]

I am trying to sketch a component onto the side of a board and when I draw the line to complete the sketch, the sketch gets separated into 2 separate components. How do I sketch something on a face so that it is one whole component?

Hi @Anonymous,
thanks for posting! By default, Fusion 360 auto project geometry on an active sketch plane,  you can disable this behavior by navigating to your preferences, and uncheck the setting: Auto project geometry on active sketch plane:
