Great videos as always. Today I discovered if I click on the surface next to the sketch the entire 2D sketch tools are available as a floating menu. It saves me from moving to the top menu.
Well, you can always project in a point from another sketch and add a coincident constraint to it. That's what the pierce relationship is in Solidworks. It just executes 2 actions with one command. But generally speaking if it is not completely obvious where to sketch the profile, I create a plane on path so I have absolute control of what's going on. That way, the origin of the sketch that is started on that plane is always going to be the path pierce point.
This series is awesome. Each module is packed with multiple tips to help a new user get up to speed with this software package. Thank you!
Great video. Thanks.

Thank you sir awesome.
Great..
Interesting. How do you control the "pierce" point, to borrow from SolidWorks language?
