Move as Projection

Used to project a copy of an element against a shape or plane and then to delete the original element.

Tolerance	Sets the smoothness of the curve. Tolerance is the maximum deviation between the actual curve and the approximating line segments for the arc and curved elements. As you decrease the value in the tolerance field, the curve becomes smoother.

Setting

Description

Proj. Onto Plane Def. By

Controls the plane against which the element is projected:

Shape — Defines a projection plane by a shape.
3 pts — Defines an imaginary plane by three points.
2 pts/view — Defines a projection plane through two points and perpendicular to the view of the first point.

Tolerance

Sets the smoothness of the curve.

Tolerance is the maximum deviation between the actual curve and the approximating line segments for the arc and curved elements.

As you decrease the value in the tolerance field, the curve becomes smoother.

Add Dropped Element

If on, adds an additional line to each edge of the projected element.
