2D projection

  • still needing help with projecting curves

    Trying to apply the projected curves from the learning center excercise in a real life situation, and I am immediately stuck! https://cad.onshape.com/documents/4abb0be366f56a87d806a695/w/ade8802c4b0bce16522a09b9/e/4b90e895ae62ae320b3c3428 In this document I have added 2 photos, one top and one front view, and I have added…

  • Can one project geometry on to a plane?

    I would like to project elements of a sketch on to a plane that is parallel with the sketch plane. I created a plane that is parallel to the sketch plane. I then invoked the "sketch" command to create a new sketch (call it "sketch 2"). I specified the new (offset) plane as the sketch plane for sketch 2. Now I'm stumped.…

  • Can I import an image file to use as a backdrop so that I can trace over the top of it?

    I am trying to reverse engineer a part with a complex geometry and don't have access to a 3D scanner. It seems like it would be easy enough to import an image of the part that I could use to at least trace the 2D projection and then extrude. Is there a way to do this in Onshape or some other software?
