Sketch copies and related

Sketch copies and related

(OP)
Hi i'm trying to do this:

Copy an sketch, and make those copies related to the first sketch so if i change the firts sketch all them change.

i.e. have a wall and you have to add stiffeneres to it but insted of using any kind of pattern. something like copy and paste and keep the relation.

i mantioned this example becouse this is what i want to do, being the diference that the sketche are along a curve
and again no patterns.

Thanks for your help

RE: Sketch copies and related

I believe what you are looking for is a "derived" sketch.

Create a derived sketch as follows:

Select the parent sketch in the feature (or graphics area), hold down the ctrl key on your keyboard and then select the plane or face where you want to place the derived sketch.

Now select "Derived Sketch" from the "Insert" drop down menu.

The derived sketch will need to be dimensioned relative to the model or co-ordinate system to fully define it.

Note: You can move, rotate and flip the derived sketch using the "Modify Sketch" command.

Hope this helps.
