Hi All  
I did a draw made by 25 sketches on xy plane  
I would the same draw done by the same sketches on a different construction plane (parallel to the XY)  
So I did a projection of the original drawing to the 2nd construction plane…  
… but I got a draw made by 62 sketches. I mean, most of the sketches has been projected 3 times on the same place.  
Do Anyone know what’s wrong?

Thank you

I got exactly same number of sketch on the project plane. Perhaps u did something wrong…just try again…carefully

You can also use the Move/Rotate tool to create a copy of your sketches.

1. Select all your sketches (You can do it one-by-one, area select OR selecting the plane from Items)
2. Make sure that Move/Rotate is the active tool
3. Turn on copy
4. Use the UP arrow to move a copy of your sketches out of your plane.
5. A new plane has been created in Items

Thank you guys  
Trying (more times) using the same sketch to project, it happens the same.  
So I have done all about the project from the beginning, redrawing even the “source” sketch and it works fine …  
Honestly I do not know why, but that’s ok.

Thank you  
Have nice drawings 🙂
