Projection to Workplane

The projection on a workplane is used when working with active workplanes. For example, when creating a new workplane based on a flat face, the selected face can be automatically projected on that workplane. More details about projection of elements can be found in the corresponding section.

If the workplane is present in the 2D view, sometimes it is convenient to use that workplane for projecting model elements. The following the option is provided for this purpose:

The workplane can be selected either in the 3D window or on the 2D view. The projection will be created in the same page of the drawing as the selected workplane. You do not have to explicitly position the projection on the drawing. The position of the projection is determined automatically, since each workplane has its specific position in the 3D space. The objects are projected on the workplane along its normal direction.
