Understanding Projected Geometry
Understanding Projected Geometry
(OP)
Having trouble understanding the projected geometry feature. Working through a 2010 tutorial - End Cap Back - and get stuck at where I select the entities to "project". The instructions ask to "Slice Graphics" then to "project". Not having any luck with it and don't quite understand what is supposed to happen when I choose the "project" button.

All that should happen is the outline of this geometry will be displayed (I think its usually a green color) on your sketch plane.
Slice graphics is used when for example your sketch plane is in the middle of a part. Well now the features/faces,etc.. that are closer to your viewing area are essentially in the way and covering up that sketch plane. Slice graphics temporarily removes/hides objects/faces,etc.. closer to your view so you have a complete view of your sketch plane.

I would recommend leaving this on.. Why would you not recommend leaving this option enabled?
By default Inventor will hide any unconsumed auto-projected geometry when the feature is created. Even if you turn the sketch visibility back on it will not be there unless you decide to edit the sketch.
