Canonical intersection in sketch

Canonical intersection in sketch

Canonical intersection in sketch

(OP)
I try to intersect some external geometry in a sketch. When this geometry is canonical (cylinders, cones etc), instead of getting the circle as intersection´s result, I get the intersection point of the cylinder/cone axis. Of course, this happens when "Create datum" is activated, that´s the way I need it. Is there any option to change that, i.e to have the necessary circle as the intersection´s result? The longer solution is to make the intersections associative (non-datums) and then isolate them, but it´s quite annoying too...

RE: Canonical intersection in sketch

In your sketch pick the surface of the cylinder or cone so it highlights before before you activate the intersect feature

RE: Canonical intersection in sketch

or select the intersect feature and then right clic on the surface... other selection...Face
