"projecting" superfice (or solid) maximum encumbrance for sketches

[alexfunk]

good morning, as from title I would need to know if it is possible of a superfice (or solid), project its maximum encumbrance (no edge) on a plane to use it as sketch (e.g. a sphere) thanks alessandro

Of course you can,
Create the plan (datum) you need, shadow curve command, and project the curves with the projected command curves on the same floor.
any 'projection' of a sphere will still give you a circumference.
three questions:
The first... What do you need?
The second... why turn into sketches?
third... what version of nx do you use?

Thank you for your concern. nx12. I know the curved command (and use). I need to project the encumbrance of a superfice or a solid (the sphere was just a trivial example). I'll take another example. I've got a cube with the corners. If I project the maximum encumbrance on a plan created at 45° of a cube face, I cannot take the edges because I am not the maximum encumbrance but I need to select the whole face or solid.

I told you in my replica above, maybe you didn't read well.
Anyway, I'm gonna get you a movie that shows you. at the video I put the zip extension but it is actually a 7z, compressing it with zip was too big.
You didn't answer two of the three questions, could you?
Thank you.
Hi.

I have to go on a cam route and I need a precise contouring. I can't find the shadow curved command, maybe it's my license issue

 

[alexfunk]

I think my license doesn't have that command (shadow curves). If you tell me the sequence to get there from the menu I do this check. Thank you.

Perhaps it is a version problem, I use nx 1872, in Italian the command is shady curve and is located under the insert>curve derived> in the drop-down menu.
you have not answered a question yet: why turn it into a sketch? ?
Now I verify if the command in version 12 was perhaps part of another command.

in workshop need a path cam

 

[ceschi1959]

in workshop need a path cam

Isn't the projection enough?
and above all did you find the command?

 

[alexfunk]

the piece is rotated and I do not have a physical "bord" (which I would get with that sequence of commands you indicated)
under inserts>curve derived> I do not have the shaded curve command

the command has actually been added in the latest versions. in 12 there is no

I'm sorry if I insist, but why turn it into a sketch?

 

[alexfunk]

It's a garage call. need a 3d cam path
I hope that I will soon update the version (there are also new cam features) but unfortunately having teamcenter we have to wait for everything to be synced, thanks
