Paste a Feature Sketch

You can add the sketch of the feature from the clipboard to a face or a guide curve of the part. If the clipboard is cleared, you cannot paste the sketch of the feature.

  1. First, copy the feature of the part on clipboard.
    • Select the face formed by the feature on the part.
    • Add a sketch of a feature in the clipboard using Clipboard> Copy or Cut.
    • Click the position point in the feature you wish to copy.
  2. Before pasting the feature to another part, select the reference face in the part you wish to position the sketch.

    Select the element you want to add the sketch:

    • A face on a part.
    • A guide curve line.
  3. Select the context-sensitive function Clipboard> Paste.
  4. If you are adding the sketch to a face on a volume, select one of the following:
    • Surface
    • Parallel
    • Angle
    • Advanced

    The sketch will be positioned onto the sketching face.

    If you paste the cross-section feature to a guide curve in a sketch, first select the guide curve, the line of the curve and the point.

  5. You can edit a sketch, move the elements on a sketch by using the Drag function, and position a sketch on the sketching face by adding dimension constraints.
  6. Select OK.
  7. Select the operation performed on the sketch, and create a feature based on the sketch.
Note:
  • To move an entire sketch to another location, first click a point on the sketch, then select the Drag Sketch function and select a new position.
  • Cancel editing the elements on a sketch by selecting the Undo function.
  • Cancel the addition of a sketch by selecting the Cancel function in the sketching mode.
