Copy Sketch

[John.Pryal]

Hi all, is it possible to copy a sketch form one part to another & maintain a link between them,ie. if a change is made to the source sketch the copied sketch updates too.

This works within the same part, I'm not sure about copying to a different part. I didn't read the post carefully.

I'd use a "copy geom" feature to copy out the sketch. That's under Insert, shared data.

This is something i needed to know, just tried it between parts (copied a sketch from one part, paste special to the other) and it worked. If I change the sketch in the first part and update the other, the pasted sketch updates also.
