Cannot find Project onto Curved Surface in new UI

Hello. I'm relatively new to Fusion 360 and I saw the option to try the new UI that's coming, so I figured I might as well switch over. I'm working a project with a lot of sketches projected onto a curved surface, but I cannot find that tool/feature in the new UI. It used to be under Sketch and Project/Include, but I cannot find that either. Please advise. Thanks!

Can you post an image similar to this?

Thank you. It looks like from your image I need to have the sketch open that I want to project. I will try that.

It worked! I had to already start a sketch in the plane I wanted rather than going to "Project to Surface" directly then selecting the plane as I had done before. I just need to remember to use a different sketch than the one containing the curves I want to project. Thanks again!

The screen cap above is for the current UI not the "new" UI.  The Project/Include link doesn't appear as it used to in the new demo UI.  Can you show a picture of the flow to get to that option in the new UI?  Thanks

Post screen shot of what you see on your machine.

Since I do not know where to find the function in the new UI it seems like a screenshot will be of little value but I'll put one up of the place I would expect it to be based on previous versions.  If you know where that function is then a screen shot from you would be helpful.  Thanks

This was the missing link.  You need to be in the process of working with a sketch to get the option to project a sketch from the object/surface.   That seems intuitive based on its namesake, but counter intuitive for folks that are designing solid models then projecting sketches for use in CNC plasma, laser or router cutting. Since the sketch toolbar is not something you can click on this adds an extra step.   Thanks for the help.

 But what about this Project feature in Manufacturing mode? It has gone from the latest version!
