I've got a simple part (attached) with some extruded sketch text (which may or may not be my WiFi network/password 🙄). If I create a new sketch, start the Project Geometry command, and area select the entire part, Inventor works for a loooong time before reporting a failure, or sometimes generating sick/pink projections.
I hit this through user error - I didn't realize the projection command was still active when I did the area select - but the behavior could be improved.
Area select for projection seems problematic in general. I tried a very simple part with a single cylindrical extrusion. If I area select the cylinder to project geometry it looks like I end up with 6(?) fully coincident projected circles and three projected loops showing in the browser. No one wants that result.
