I need to "Use" a complicated profile curve from an existing commercial part. I create an incontext studio, start a sketch, but I don't see the option to Select > Tangent connected curves. how do I Use a complex curve from context without clicking hundreds of times?

Sucks that it's not giving you the option, that could be a feature request. In the mean time is creating a curve in the origonal part studio using Composite Curve:
and then deriving it into your part studio as a reference an option?
i don't own the part studio, it's from a vendor and we want to make a part that fits it.
There are a couple of quick ways to get "normal" geometry from a context:
I like to use the an offset surface feature with zero offset to convert what I need.
You can also use the transform tool to "copy in place" entire parts.
Alternatively you can derive the part you need from their part studio and create a curve reference in your own document. Let us know if any of these help.
