Projecting a Curve

Projecting a Curve

Projecting a Curve

(OP)
I am trying to project a sketch onto a surface but it ends up being a cosmetic feature and cannot be used in sweeps.

I tried to do a Datum curve (through legacy) onto a surface, but after selecting a surface to project to, Pro won't accept the surface.  The command just hangs!!

Pro/E WildFire 2.0 Date Code M160

Thanks,

Todd

RE: Projecting a Curve

What do you mean by "through legacy"?

If you have a curve and a surface, Select the curve then use Edit - Project; the direction can be specified

This can then be used as a trajectory in a sweep

What's the problem?

I was using the legacy commands.  Old Pro/E user coming back from a 3 year stint in SolidWorks.

The project command using the legacy commands "hung" while selecting surfaces.

You solved my problem.  Thanks!!

RE: Projecting a Curve

Glad to be of help, and welcome back to Pro/E !!!
What did you think of SolidWorks, and is it a job change that has brought you back from the dark side?
