Re: [Request] Inverse Edge Linked to External Geometry
if we can not edit our Edge Linked to External Reference (actually RED, but should be BLUE), the Inverse Edge Linked to External Reference is editable.
...is Blender but parametric.
Re: [Request] Inverse Edge Linked to External Geometry
External references have something in common with construction geometry, but there are serious differences as well. If they ever get the same color, I come up with a feature request to distinguish them.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Re: [Request] Inverse Edge Linked to External Geometry
excuse me, everyone, I noticed my fail:
I was calling Construction Edges to the Normal Edges (White and Red Constrains)
Non-Constructive Edges to the Construction Edges (Blue)
... this is a bit confusing because the "Construction Edges" basically is at least for me References Edges also are hidden in the Sketcher, included the Edge Linked to External Geometry

Re: [Request] Inverse Edge Linked to External Geometry
Do you mean to get the second projection? (#2)
If yes, I agree, that a missing feature in sketcher.

Re: [Request] Inverse Edge Linked to External Geometry
more like this:
1 we have a cube or any object
2 we insert Sketcher, BLue for "Edges Linked to External Geometry" and RED for "External Geometry linked to Edge"
3 After add constraints and edit values for "External Geometry linked to Edge"

Can be done just like this.

Re: [Request] SKetcher External Geometry linked to Edge
how do you could fix this edge?
this request is not just for simple edition, is also for imported files without parametric features like .STEP or .IFC files, non-native FreeCAD format.

Re: [Request] SKetcher External Geometry linked to Edge
I'm not an expert but I don't see how something like this could be implemented.

Re: [Request] SKetcher External Geometry linked to Edge
every vertex, edge, wire, face, solid, or any object has XYZ axis coordinates, the button "External Geometry linked to Edge" should Bind their Axis Coordinates to a Sketcher Plane with any Orientation
Sample 1: if we create a Draft Line and Sketcher with XY Orientation, the button should bind their X and Y Coordinates to the Sketcher, if our Sketcher is ZY, then X is Free, If Sketcher is ZX, then Y is Free.
Sample 2:
if we create a helix and a Square Sketcher XY plane, we could bind Vertex X and Y Coordinates using, for example, an expression to Sketcher XY Vertex, leaving Z-Axis Free to any edition.
Sample 3:
Design45 WB uses a method that creates another separated Object but easy to edit coordinates using their Tweak Tool, the Original Object still there, in the image "Cube002" primitive object was not deleted, but "Feature" replaced it. The same method could be for this request.
