Selecting a feature's edge or points while sketching?
Selecting a feature's edge or points while sketching?
(OP)
I'm a novice in CATIA right now. In CATIA while working a sketch, I can't have my cursor snap to a point or edge on other sketches or features. Is there some button I have press while sketching if I want to do this? Alternatively, I'd want to be able to select edges and points of other sketches such as a sketch that is orthogonal to the current one.

you have to project(/intersect) the element in(/with) the sketch to be able to snap to it.

Specifically, I'm trying to project the side of a cylinder onto a plane next to it. Also, I'm projecting the circle part of a cylinder to another plane parallel to the flat surface of the cylinder.

Also, in CATIA, I notice an Associativity and Add to Associated Part button. Is that relevant to what I want to do?
FIGURED IT OUT! Turns out I need to select the projected element and press Local Update. Update All didn't seem to work.
