Sketch on a section

Sketch on a section

Sketch on a section

(OP)
Problem: section a part and create a sketch on the section (actually the plane through the section). It appears that you can't select the edges of the section and convert them to sketch lines. Is there a work-around?

Thanks

RE: Sketch on a section

Tools --> Sketch Tools --> Intersection curves

In a 2D sketch, this will get the section curves of surfaces intersecting the sketch plane.

RE: Sketch on a section

Turn off section, change from color solid to wireframe (can't remember the correct terms right now), then select the edges.
