ProjectGeometry

Pro, Platinum Pro, Platinum Pro, Platinum

Projects 2D geometry onto a region, a surface or a 3D solid; allows to create additional linework on the faces of solids and surfaces.

Accessing the Command

command bar: projectgeometry

menu bar: Draw | Project Geometry

toolbar: Draw |

: projectgeometry

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select 2d entities to be projected or specify [PROjection direction]: (Select a 2D entity or choose an option.)

Entities in set: 1

Select 2d entities to be projected or specify [PROjection direction]: (Select more 2D entities or press Enter.)

Select a region, surface or 3d solid to project onto: (Select a region, surface or 3D solid.)

1 object(s) projected successfully.

The intersection lines of the projected entity and the 3D solid, surface or region are created on the current layer.

Description

Projection direction

By default 2D geometry is projected orthogonally onto the

Allows to define the projection direction.

Prompts you:

Specify the direction [View/Ucs/Points] <View>:

View: Sets the projection direction perpendicular to the current view orientation.
UCS: Z-axis of the current UCS.
Points: Prompts you to specify the start and end point of the projection direction.
