Copying Multiple Sketches

Copying Multiple Sketches

Copying Multiple Sketches

(OP)
I'm trying to copy multiple sketches that exist on one plane to another plane.  It seems that I have to do this one sketch at a time...is there a faster way? Thanks in advance...

Jon

RE: Copying Multiple Sketches

you could just select the sketches in your tree and convert all the sketch entities to the new plane.

Best Regards,
Jon

RE: Copying Multiple Sketches

(OP)
Thanks for the help, but I need to make a copy of the sketch...for lofting purposes.  Is there a way to copy all of them in one swoop?

On the "new plane" note: I have selected multiple planes before and performed that function, but it only seems to do it on the first plane...any thoughts?

Jon

RE: Copying Multiple Sketches

Highlight the Sketch and select Edit\Copy - then pick a new plane and select Edit/Paste.

you can't be in an active Sketch when doing this.

or... ctrl/select the sketch in feature manager tree and drag it to the surface you want the new sketch.

I am trying the suggestions, but it still only copies one sketch.  I am selecting multiple (which exist on one plane), selection "Copy", selecting the new plane, and selecting "Paste".  This only copies one sketch...
