How do you move sketch from one plane to another
How do you move sketch from one plane to another
(OP)
Hello,
Is there an easy way to move a sketch from one plane to another? I am trying to move a sketch that was imported from AutoCAD from the Front Plane to the Top Plane where it consistently arrives during the “import to a new part” operation.
Thanks

Right-click your "Sketch"
Click "Edit Sketch Plane"
Click on the "New Plane"
Hope This Helps!

Simply open the skecth on the Front Plane as you have it.
Select all of the entities (lines/arcs/etc...)
Along the top menu 'Edit' -> 'Copy'
Then pick the Top Plane as your new sketch plane
Along the top menu 'Edit' -> 'Paste'
This also allows you to keep the original sketch un-modified if you need to reference it later.
