Copy Sketch

Copy Sketch

Copy Sketch

(OP)
I am trying to find a way of copying a sketch from a part to another part.  The reason for this is because I sketch our company logo on some parts, and it is quite time consuming.  So I want a way of effectively copy and pasting the sketch into another part, is this possible?  The only way I can think of doing this is to create a new part, just sketch the logo, and then import it as an assembly.  But I would prefer not to do it this way.  

Any suggestions?

RE: Copy Sketch

Select the sketch in the FM tree, Ctrl-c to copy, select the face or plane in the destination part and Ctrl-v to paste.  You then will likely have to use the move/rotate command to get it exactly where you want it.

THAN YOU VERY MUCH

RE: Copy Sketch

You can also create a Library Feature of the sketch & insert it as required.
