Select points, edges, or faces to project onto the sketch plane.

Select the Maintain Reference checkbox if you want the
projected feature to retain a reference to the original geometry. Clear the
checkbox to project without a reference to the original geometry.
The referenced entities are projected onto the sketch plane as dotted construction lines. Unreferenced entities are projected onto the sketch plane as underdefined construction lines.Note: You can set the Maintain Reference checkbox independently for each projection in a sketch.
- Right-click and mouse through the check mark to exit, or double-right-click.
Tip: To convert a construction line to a sketch curve,
right-click the construction line and select Create

automatically. You can turn off this option in the Preferences under .
