Merging sketches

james_wiger23610

Hello everyone!
   I'm trying to model an engine block. I have two sketches which I have derived from separate blueprint drawings. I created them in different Parts Studios. Now I would like to know if there is a best practice for getting the sketches in to a single part studio. I see the copy function of the sketches, however I don't know how to paste.

Here is a screen capture of what I have so far:

Thanks in advance!

Hi James, see the below method to copy and paste the sketch from one part studio to another



For pasting the sketch it is required to select appropriate datum plane or planer surface.

@james_wiger23610 , Refer below video to use sketch and part from different part studio. After pasting you should only need to add a coincidence and vertical or horizontal or angle dimension to fully constrain.

@ james_wiger23610  , another method is by using "Derived" option. In this method you can insert the sketch from other part studios of same document.

After inserting the sketch will be positioned as per previous part studio orientation.

On the bottom left-hand corner click on where it says "parts", then select the parts that you want to merge, and then click "Boolean".  and that should help.
