How do I select Tangent Connected curves from a context object?
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?

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.
