Alibre | All About Projecting to Sketches!

Inserting geometry into your sketch is easy and customizable with the project to sketch command. We've had some questions on how to use it, so here is an overview on how it works.

Super helpful, now I have a better understanding of that tool😊

I finally figured out how to use this program with my 3d printer and its awesome the parts I can make for my car

04:00 WOW! Showing the dim value in metric and imperial? Is that a v27 feature? Man, you're making me want to update more and more... I actually had a printout above my old desk that had a fraction to decimal to mm conversion chart. I now use that digitally, but it means I need to go back and forth between the design and that chart. This would be a massive help.

This has been possible in Alibre Design for decades. Check File>Properties>Units>Dual Dimensions how to set this up.

Thanks for the video.

This seems better than how Fusion 360 does it.

So I am having the problem where if I want to project an "edge" normal to a revolved feature, it does not recognize that in the sketch because it is not a hard edge per se. This creates some problems for my workflow and similarly, I cannot snap any sketch points to theoretical edges that are normal to those contoured sections either. Is there a way to address this?

I've been able to project a normal edge to a revolved feature, but perhaps it's not working in your case. If you're able to share the model, could you email to [e-mail]?
