Copying and Pasting Entire Sketches

You can copy an entire sketch and paste it on a face in the current part, or you can paste it into a different sketch, or into a part, assembly, or drawing document. The target document must be open.

  2. Click Edit > Copy or press Ctrl+C.
  3. Click in the sketch or document where you want to paste the center of the sketch.
  4. Click Edit > Paste or press Ctrl+V.
