convert 3D sketch to 2D sketch
convert 3D sketch to 2D sketch
(OP)
Is it possible to convert a 3D sketch to a 2D sketch? I've got a model that I inherited that I need to modify and there's a hole wizard feature that uses a 3D sketch to locate the holes. The holes are located correctly (for now), but for future modifications I'd rather have a 2D sketch locating the holes.
I'd rather not delete the feature and re-create due to parent/child relationships.

What is the problem with modifying the 3D sketch?

This is a pattern of holes on a planar surface and it will always stay that way, so I'd rather have the hole locations defined on the relevant plane rather than in a 3D sketch where they could potentially get hosed.

I don't mind redefining sketches and such, but what I didn't want to have happen was to have a lot of downstream features get deleted along with the hole wizard feature.
For my own information, how would I go about editing the hole wizard feature to use the 2D sketch? I looked at editing the feature, but the locations were defined in the 3D sketch and I couldn't figure out a way to change that.

I think a lot of people end up with the 3D sketch located hole wizard holes because they just don't know how to use the hole wizard correctly. That's what I did until someone showed me the error of my ways.
