How to select part model sketch entities in assembly model
How to select part model sketch entities in assembly model
(OP)
In a part model as a last step I created a plane and a sketch with a circle to be used to orientate the part in an assembly model.
In my assembly model, How do I select the sketch circle, to mate to the origin of the assembly? I show the sketch ok, but I can't select the circle or it's center point.
I tried searching for a solution but couldn't find anything
Thanks,
Tom

If you can't see them, select the part's sketch in the feature tree, RMB and show.
If it's still not visible, check under "View" to make sure sketches are selected for visibility.

I can see the sketch entities when I show the sketch, but I cannot select them. I played around with the selection options in the options menu but had no luck with that either. I know I had this working in 2007 but not yet in 2008
EEnd, excuse my ignorance, but how do I create a coordinate system in the part? and then how do I mate that in my assembly?

Do you have Selection Filters selected?
KITRACER,
If the part is 'behind' the sketch, you are probably selecting features of the part rather than the sketch elements.
Can either or both of you post some images, files or (preferably) video of what you are seeing. As TheTick said, "You should be able to just pick them."

I usually always convert edges, etc of underlying sketch geometry.
I had this happen to me last week on some stuff I was working on. I do this all the time and could not get it to work with this particular set of files.
A system restart tends to help that, even better if I let it sit overnight. I think SW just gets stubborn at times.

Then I was able to go into the other part I was working on in the assembly and pick up the point to relate my new sketch geometry. A pretty easy work around.
