Hello. How do I project a 3D sketch in solidwork along an axis on a plan?
1 possible solution:
- Create a plane normal to the axis,
- on this level, "convert" the 3D sketch.
See example in PC (SW17)
Part1.SLDPRT
Hello
In the case of an oblique projection, you have to go through a projected curve ( Insert menu> Curve > Projected...).
By selecting the 3D sketch, projection direction, face or projection plane in order. The projection face may not be a plane...
The result is a SolidWorks curve. If a 2D sketch is needed, then simply open a new sketch in the projection plane, select the previously created curve, and validate the Convert Features sketch feature.
This same function can be used directly if the direction of projection is normal to the plane.
Kind regards.

Converting the 3D sketch into another sketch doesn't work. I would like to have both parts of the tubes at the level of the weld for laser cutting before welding.
When I select Projected Curve, I don't have access to the same thing.
I think, what you need practically is a Flattening (unfolded), or even exporting the model in machine-readable format especially for the curved part of the tube which will be cut after bending!
