Inventor - How to make projected plane lines shorter when projected into a sketch?

Hi everyone,
Normaly I use skeleton modeling where the main dimensions of what i am desiging are defined by planes. Then i derive the relevant planes on the part itself and use them as reference. I noticed that when I project a work plane into a 2D sketch, the resulting projected line always appears much longer than the visible size of the plane.
I understand that because a plane is treated as infinite, Inventor generates a long infinite line — but in my case I only need the projected line to match the visible plane boundary (or a smaller length).
Is there any way to automatically shorten the projected line to the “size” of the plane, or control its length directly? Otherwise in more complex parts, the amount of construtions lines made by the project geometry make working on the part very difficult as you can see in the image.
Thanks!
