How can I copy a sketch from one document and paste it into another?

chris_8

Or... can I export a sketch from one and then import it to another?

TIA

 All you've got at the moment is RMB on the tab, copy to clipboard and paste in a new doc (bottom left+) or a duplicate in the existing doc. That will take the whole part studio once pasted you could get rid of everything but the sketch you want.

You can all so do a dwg/dxf export of a sketch but have no way of getting it back into the Onshape doc and you lose all constraints

Not sure why the subject is all caps.  it wasn't when I typed it.  Weird

darn.  i came to the forum just now to ask the exact same question, since i want to try a variant of a design i did before, and the "suppress" feature makes choosing between alternatives easy.  but i'd like to start from my original sketch.

copying of various sorts is clearly a big missing piece right now.

@pgf  You should remember that you can reuse sketch or just parts of it. So you can draw as much lines into one sketch as you wan't and if you can recognize the right ones to choose in extrude you can create multiple extrudes using different geometries of your 'master' sketch. Then use suppress just for extrudes.
