Summary: FIX origin/coordinate projection in sketch creation to part surface

Description: When creating a (2.nd or later) new sketch to some surface off part. Project always the part origin for sketch origin and part axle or axis from part axle or axis. Creation off new axis direction is only needed when the sketch plane is located tilted from part coordinate system in all directions (in my case thats maybe 1/1000 times). When this happens select collinear line for coordinate base direction (not any point on sketch!)
By doing this it helps a lot to make changes in old parts (reused in new designs) - it makes also possible to add ie. fillets in parts before already made sketches without fixing coordinate system afterwards.

(you don't have to fix faulty coordinate systems!)
