•
Click the Specify point button next to the X and Y boxes, and click a point on the drawing.
•
Enable the Relative origin check box, and click the point on the origin locator that corresponds to the point on the object from
which you want to project the object.
If you want to leave the original object unchanged and apply the transformation to a copy, type 1 in the Copiesbox. The number of
copies cannot exceed one.
6 Click Apply.
Applying a contour to a projected object may not produce the desired results. It is recommended that you apply a contour to the
object in its unprojected state and then project the object. Contour groups can be unlinked by clicking Arrange Break contour
group apart.
To unproject an object from a drawing plane

Customizing drawing profiles
You can use the Projected axes docker to create and edit drawing profiles. The Projected axes docker features a real-time preview of a cube,
which represents the projected axes and scales for the chosen drawing profile. When you change drawing profiles, or when you modify the
projected axes or scales, the preview is automatically updated.
The Projected axes docker allows you to set the degree offsets for the x, y, and z axes. For information on how these offsets are calculated,
see “Understanding projected drawing modes” on page 203. The Projected axes docker also allows you to set a scale factor for each axis.
For example, if you use a drawing profile with a scale of 50% on the x-axis, projected objects will display at half their original size along their
x-axis.
You can create a customized drawing profile from an existing one. You can also edit preset and custom drawing profiles, or you can delete
them altogether.
To display or hide the Projected Axes docker
•
Click Window Projected axes.
A check mark beside the Projected axes command indicates that the Projected axes docker is displayed.
