Catia - Import .dxf, then snap to point

[Snugglosaurus]

Hi,

I've just started Catia (used to using AutoCAD and Solidworks).

I'm trying to quickly build a fairly accurate 3D shape of a tool based on the 2D drawings I have.

I'd like to import the three 2D drawings I have on to the xy-plane, yz-plane an zx-plane. I'll then pad the xy-plane sketch to be oversized, then reverse pocket the remaining two planes. This should build a pretty accurate 3D model of the tool...

HOWEVER, I'm getting stuck at the first hurdle and can't figure out how to snap the 3 sketches to align with each other! I have a reference point to snap to on each drawing. My plan was to snap them to the center xyz point, but I can't even do that.

I'm certain there's a simple solution. Please Help!

open all dxf files and copy them to part. use change sketch support to align every dxf to its plane. now you can edit sketch and constrain/translate entities as you wish.
