Sketching in drafting
Sketching in drafting
(OP)
I'm having trouble sketching in draft. What would like to do is be able to constrain new sketch elemnets to exist view edges. Something as simple as drawing a line parallel to an existing view edge or connecting a line to the endpoint of a view edge.

I tried snapping to an exploded view in NX 7.5 without problems, It snaps to the exploded positions.
I have not projected anything since i don' understand why i should, even the silhouettes of cylindrical faces are usable without further actions.
Just set the extracted as described above and give it a try.

This is a small demopart, left view exploded as can be seen.
Oops, just noted that i didn't snap to anything, only setting constraints, but snapping is no problem for me.
