How to align images on different planes

Hi,
I'm trying to perfectly align two images on two different planes (front and top ones), but I'm not sure that I'm doing it the right way:
Here is the shared link to the project:
Could you please help me understand the right way to do it?
Thanks

Find a common point and set to the origin will help. Setting scales to make both sketches match size I find a little bit of a pain. Not sure why you felt the need to set up other planes?

I was just following this tutorial:
Anyway, I don't think I've understood how you aligned them.
Thanks
Once the sketches were scaled I used a transform to to move the sketches to the origin using points generated in the sketches. No extra planes needed.
You'll notice I used less input points for the splines to get smoother transitions around the frames.

Hi Glen
what still puzzles me is this arc:
I didn't understand the criteria of its measures. Sorry, The Video was a bit messy about it.
Thank you again
The arc is a guide for intersect sweep adding to over all shape. That's the shape of the glasses I'm wearing.
I got that, but it doesn't seem to be an accurate measure, I mean it looks to me as it could be of any lenght. Thanks
No it's not an accurate. I't's just a sample and can be locked down any place you like. As to the length, that's some where past the intersect.
Okay. Thank you very much
Have you tried the "pierce" command? I find this very helpful in this sort of situation. It works like a coincident constraint, between two different sketches. Good luck
No, I've never heard of it actually. I'll look it up. Thank you very much.
