How to copy in assembly a used curve to my work part without "Sketch Plan on curve"?

Hi,

I have a sheet with 2 side thicknesses, made from an curve>extrude. But this is not the work part. I like to use this curve for
my work part, to make a guide swept along this curve (with a normal plane to this curve).

How can I copy this curve to my work part? OK, maybe with a plane ON this curve with a sketcher would be working, but I like a 3D solution. My work part is invisible because I just started it. The curve is part of a different assembly part.

Attached is my model and a jpg.

Thx

 
Insert> Associative Copy> Wave Geometry Linker and select the "Composite Curve" option. Select the curve you want to use and "OK". The curve will then be available to use in the assembly.
