Hi Jédrasik,

When you project, there are options. Make sure you turn “Linked Sketch” **Off**.

Hi Bob ! thanks for your answer, unfortunately it doesn’t change anything because I need to project on curve face and it seem that’s not possible 😔

I’m so despair ! It completely paralyse my creation, it was so much better before…  
I just can’t use Shapr3D now 😕

You can project onto curved faces. You will get edges, not sketches.  
Post your project in shapr format, with details what you are trying to do.
