How creating a copy of the outline of another part?

Hello everybody,
I have created a part, and now I will copy the exact outlines of this part so that I can then put the parts together. Now I have loaded a derived of the one part to the other part design, but now I don't know how to copy the contours exactly. What I mean is that I search for a function with which I can copy the contours of the part, like pressing them into plasticity or so on. whe I make a sketch and than an offset, it ignores the rounded edges, and so on.

Thanks for our helping and sorry for my bad English.

    I think this might be what you are attempting.

    You can use the "Offset" or "Project" function in your CAD.
