Summary: Be able to project geometry from a sketch plane to a surface or another plane.
Description: Project To a sketch plane. We currently have Project From features to a sketch plane, but not the other way round.
How Used: This might sound confusing, but you have to remember that Projecting is perpendicular to the sketch plane, at present. Project To would only work from a plane or surface - otherwise it would be greyed out - and would be perpendicular from where you are projecting, ie at an angle to the sketch plane you are projecting onto.
This makes a huge difference in the outcome and saves having to extrude a surface to cut a plane to produce the same result.
