sweep on multiple planes

darren_mason871

I've started a sketch on the front plane, and I'm curious if there's a way to connect its last point to more lines that are parallel to the right plane. Is there a way to do this and sweep it all?

In your use case, you might also want to check out the Ortho Lines FeatureScript by Ilya Baran:

Yes exactly like that.  How do u connect the multiple planes? I went to the link for the orthoscript and it was all code.

For the Ortho Lines Document, you can add the Ortho Lines FeatureScript by clicking the "Custom features" button at the top left and clicking on "Ortho lines." There is a PDF tab at the bottom showing how to use it and a Part Studio with some examples.

As for attaching the sketches, I did a screen recording to demonstrate: https://youtu.be/zOb9wJVuXzY

I suggest checking out the training (especially the self-paced courses) at learn.onshape.com - it is really helpful!

The video was SO SO helpful. I was thrashing trying to understand the mate connector created in the sketch.

I forgot to mention I'm using android.  Also I watched the video a bunch of times and I can only get as far as an error message on the mate connector saying cannot resolve entities and no entities selected
