can I copy a sketch across drawings?
can I copy a sketch across drawings?
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I am using NX6. I hope this is not a silly question but can I copy a sketch across drawings? I am trying to avoid duplicating work. I have a sketch created in one drawing that I extrude to make some cut outs. I want to make the same cut outs on a different part. Do I have to recreate the sketch in the new drawing or is there any way of copying it across?
many thanks,
James

no I have of course tried to do this as per conventional methods. I also started a new assembly, added the parts the tried from within the same assembly drawing, still no joy. Maybe it makes more sense to simply stick with the feature array copy functions...
cheers,

Say you added a sketch to a certain view to make a break-out section. Can you copy that sketch to another view/sheet/drawing?
I'd check it myself, but don't have access to NX at the moment.

thanks for looking at this post. I am thinking about this the wrong way? Should I simply be making the sketch again in the new part?
thanks,
James
