Using a sketch as reference for multiple parts

Using a sketch as reference for multiple parts

Using a sketch as reference for multiple parts

(OP)
Greetings Wise Ones,
I am curious if it is possible, and how to create a single sketch and then use it to create multiple parts that are designed around the primary sketch?  Example, if I draw a box, then offset it.  I need to then make 4 separate legs that follow the box profile.  I would like to use the Include command to use some of the profile and then fill in the gaps.  I could create the sketch each time for 4 different parts, but am looking to see if there is a way to reference or copy a sketch or feature from one part to another.  Please educate me on this.

Thanks,

amlsna,

If you check out the help file and search for assembly layout, that will point you in the right direction.
