About Using Intent Object or Composite Curve as Sketcher Reference
You can use an intent edge, datum references or composite curve as a Sketcher reference. When you select an intent object or a composite curve as a Sketcher reference, you can reference only the intent object or the composite curve itself.
Intent chain and composite curve reference support:
Point On constraint
Tangency constraint
Project command
Offset command
If you change the reference intent chain such that it results in multiple pieces, then the sketch will fail.
You can select the silhouette of an intent surface as a reference for Point On and Tangent constraint, and for the Project and Offset commands.
