How to copy a sketch by 90 degrees
I have a square base structure with walls so they have the same width. Some elements on 2 orthogonal sides are on the same place.
I am looking for a way not to create 1 sketch only for these elements and then turning it by the tangent corner line.
The simplest example would be to sketch a triangle on the Front plane, then a line that is coincident with the right plane and then find a way how to display the triangle from the front plane exactly onto the right plane.
Does anybody knows how to do that?

Sounds like you might need circular pattern feature possibly? Hard to say really without seeing what you are trying to accomplish.

yw. Curious if you don't mind me asking. What is the use case for the sketch only?

Well, that is a bit more screwball. ;0)
There are certainly more than three ways to go. It always depends on what the goal is exactly …

It seems like a circular pattern of the sketch feature should do the trick?

Yes, or mirror the side over two diagonal planes, if you need the figure on the side inverted.

Thank you, that was helpful! I wanted to copy the sketch only and I was trying the circular pattern, but I had overseen the drop down at the top to select feature pattern that I saw in your screen shot.
Now it works:

Martin Kopplow, your suggestion sounds interesting. Could you provide a drawing for your idea please?

Regarding your question of the use case: There is a part has holes that have the same position referring to a corner. I want the position to be exactly the same to have the making easy and cheap…
Thank you for your valuable answers! In Method 2 I was learning more than I expected…0 -
Just one remaining question: Instead of mirroring the sketch I was looking for a way to mirror the extrude itself (that is the hole) using the mirror tool, but I could not select neither the extrude nor the hole itself. Would there be a possibility to mirror or transform an extrude with removal?

this is why I was asking about the use case. Just select features in the mirror tool and you can mirror whatever holes extrudes cuts you want.
