Copying and pasting a sketch with design intent.

peter_hall

When I create a new sketch on a face of a part and then paste a sketch I find it is not in the right position. I then have to create a lot of coincident points to put it into the correct position on my new face. 
Is there an easy way for me to define the original sketch to make this task easier?
This was copying a hole series pattern from one rectangular face to an identical rectangular face on the same part.

peter_hall recently I used "copy sketch"and "paste sketch"for many times ,and I noticed that all position dimensions and some constraints which are related to something beyong this sketch like "projected" can not be copied and pasted together.But in your model, you just add some position dimensions for this pasted skech to make it constrainted totally.

Try the copying the sketches from here https://cad.onshape.com/documents/0a355a367a4941eca0d90a0f/w/3d4fdaaf6b77419db7fa309b, these are all set with no horizontal or vertical removed. After pasting you should only need to add a coincidence and vertical or horizontal or angle dimension to fully constrain. 

I love the way the sketch copy works taking dimension and constraints, although you have to be careful what you select.
