Hello,

I have been searching for a way to reference geometry in a sketch inside DesignModeler. For example, say I have a vertex on a shape at an arbitrary point (aka, I don't know the exact coordinates) and I want a line in a sketch to start on that vertex.

Normally I just define everything and use parameters to make points be in the same place, but I've gotten kind of fed up with spending 3 minutes on a task that takes me less than a second to do in all the other CAD software I deal with.

Is there a way to do this? Making references to geometry seems like a pretty dumb thing to not have, but ANSYS have made more interesting decisions in the past, so it wouldn't surprise me.

1. Create New Plane
2. Right click and Insert 'Sketch projection'
3. Select the feature which you want to use as reference in 'Sketch projection' and generate

Thanks! That was exactly what I was looking for.
