Sketcher CarbonCopy

Description
The tool copies all the geometry and constraints from another sketch into the active sketch.

Dimensional constraints which exist before the copy function remain linked to the original sketch's dimensional constraints through expressions.

Usage

 * 1) Make sure you are in the edit mode of an existing . (This sketch is the target of the operation.)
 * 2) Press the  button.
 * 3) Click on an edge from another sketch. (This sketch is the source of the operation.)
 * 4) Geometry elements as well as constraints are copied into the active sketch.
 * 5) Press  or the right mouse button to terminate the operation.

Notes:
 * When sketches are used in the Workbench_PartDesign.svg PartDesign Workbench, normally the sketch to carbon copy should be in the same as the currently active sketch. If the sketch to be copied is not in the active Body, the mouse pointer will not allow selection. In this case, hold  to allow selection of sketches from other Bodies.
 * Normally, the sketch to select should be in a plane that is parallel to the currently active sketch. If the sketch to be copied is not parallel to the currently active sketch, hold + to allow selection of non-parallel sketches. The object will then be adjusted to the active sketch's plane. Noteː as of this writing this needs a save and reload of the document to make it visible. This works for sketches located outside of the currently active Body as well.


 * If the Sketcher mode has been changed to construction mode using all copied geometry will be created in construction mode.

Limitations

 * All content of the sketch is copied; it is not possible to select only a portion of it. However, after copying you may "prune" the copied sketch.
