Hello all
What is the best way to copy a sketch from one part or assembly and paste it to another, keeping all its dimensions and relations?

RE: [b]Copying Sketches and pasting to new part[/b]

Open both parts, split the window, control-drag from the cuurent sketch onto the surface of other part. It will not keep relations that are to other features of it's current part.

RE: [b]Copying Sketches and pasting to new part[/b]

Copy and paste works.

Hit CTRL-C with the sketch selected.  Then CTRL-V on any plane or surface.

RE: [b]Copying Sketches and pasting to new part[/b]

That will work also. But sometimes in both cases will not work, don't know why.

RE: [b]Copying Sketches and pasting to new part[/b]

The only time Copy, Paste won't work. Is if you don't pick your face or plane prior to pasting.

I only use Copy, Paste - I have never used your method ctopher. Not saying it doesn't work. I have just been doing the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V for a long time now. You just have to pick the face or plane first, then paste. It always works for me.
