Summary

By projecting geometry you can do on of the following:

• Project points or curves onto a 3D solid or surface.
• Project and trim a selected 3D solid or surface.

To trim the surface, set the SURFACEAUTOTRIM system variable to 1.

You can project any curve (line, arc, circle, ellipse, 2D polyline, 2D spline-fit polyline, 2D curve-fit polyline, 3D polyline, 3D spline-fit polyline, spline, or helix) onto any type of surface or solid.
