How to move sketch entities like lines to another view ?

[jack3108]

FYI - SW2004 SP3.0 Windows NT4.0 SP6.0

On the dwg I made complex sketch using lines, splines etc. Later I realised those sketch entities should be on another view.

Q: Any easy way to move those sketch entities to another view ?

right click on the sketch that contains the "entities" you want to move. Left click on "edit sketch plane". In the "Sketch Plane" dialog box that appears enter the plane you wish to move the sketch to. click okay.

An easy way to select the plane you want to move the sketch to is to click on the Sketch Plane property manager title block which will cause the feature manager to fly out with all your features in that document. You can easily pick your plane from there.

Thanks, but I am talking about a sketch on DWG, not on PART, I am talking about DWG VIEWS, not PART VIEWS

There are a couple of alternatives.

If the sketch entities are not causing a problem where they are, you could start a new sketch & use the Convert entities feature to transfer them to the new sketch. The down side to this would be that the new sketch would become a child of the existing one.

Another alternative would be to cut & paste the sketch entities to a new sketch. The downside here would be in re-constraining the entities in the new sketch, & possibly fixing any broken or lost constraints in the existing one.

Ahah .... you jumped in while I was responding.

If the lines were created in a part's sketch, then no, you cannot move them from one drawing view to another. You may be able to hide them in one view & show them in another.

If you created the sketch entities in the drawing, then you may be able to move or cut & paste to another view, but you would have to break all constraints which were made when creating the sketch

Can ya make a block and bust it up again later? Never messed with that stuff as I rarely do any drafting (as in virtually never) but I thought maybe it might work?

Yes, you can explode Blocks aftr they are created, and recreate them.
