Projected point:

You create a projected point by selecting a point to project and the element on which you want to project it. The created point will be the closest point on the element to the selected point position:

with extrapolation of the element (option Extrapolate = YES),

Curves are virtually extended and the point is created.

without extrapolation of the element (option Extrapolate = NO).

this is the closest point that is created

You can choose between selecting:

a FACE of a shape,

an EDGE of a shape,

a curve SEGEMENT.
