Hello,
I am trying to project a point from one plane to another and Solidworks is not projecting as I'd expect.
Here is a simplified situation: I have a point on my START plane. I would like to project that point onto my DESTINATION plane
When I either project a reference point, or draw a point and make it coincident on the DESTINATION plane it gives me this:
Solidworks is using the DESTINATION plane as the "driver". It assumes I want the point to coincident as though I'm looking normal to the DESTINATION plane
I want it to give me a result that is driven by the START plane. ie... I want Solidworks to project the point, NORMAL TO THE START PLANE, onto the destination plane:
Can anyone tell me what setting to change, or what process to use that will accomplish this?
Thank you very much for the help!
You could sketch a construction line going up to your destination plane from the point on your start plane. Make it perpendicular to the start plane. The end of that line should be the point you want if I understand you correctly.
