Summary0003646: Allow manual entry of the main direction (the front) for a ProjectionGroup
DescriptionIf a body's face is selected, and the user creates a ProjectionGroup, the projection direction is normal to that face. If no face is selected, the projection uses the 3D camera angle.

However, Sketches don't have a face so if the user tries to create a projection normal to that Sketch, he has to rely on adjusting the camera first before calling the ProjectionGroup tool.

An option to manually define the main direction (the front) of the ProjectionGroup could be added, so that selecting a face, or changing the 3D camera is not necessary.

The feature was first requested in the old TechDraw repository https://github.com/WandererFan/FreeCAD-TechDraw/issues/65

Now it's in the forum https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=31041
