[b]Copying Sketches and pasting to new part[/b]

Hello all
What is the best way to copy a sketch from one part or assembly and paste it to another, keeping all its dimensions and relations?

Open both parts, split the window, control-drag from the cuurent sketch onto the surface of other part. It will not keep relations that are to other features of it's current part.

Copy and paste works.

Hit CTRL-C with the sketch selected. Then CTRL-V on any plane or surface.

That will work also. But sometimes in both cases will not work, don't know why.

The only time Copy, Paste won't work. Is if you don't pick your face or plane prior to pasting.

I only use Copy, Paste - I have never used your method ctopher. Not saying it doesn't work. I have just been doing the Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V for a long time now. You just have to pick the face or plane first, then paste. It always works for me.
