Copying Multiple Sketches

[AeroJDK]

I'm trying to copy multiple sketches that exist on one plane to another plane. It seems that I have to do this one sketch at a time...is there a faster way? Thanks in advance...

you could just select the sketches in your tree and convert all the sketch entities to the new plane.

Thanks for the help, but I need to make a copy of the sketch...for lofting purposes. Is there a way to copy all of them in one swoop?

On the "new plane" note: I have selected multiple planes before and performed that function, but it only seems to do it on the first plane...any thoughts?

Highlight the Sketch and select Edit\Copy - then pick a new plane and select Edit/Paste.

you can't be in an active Sketch when doing this.

or... ctrl/select the sketch in feature manager tree and drag it to the surface you want the new sketch.

I am trying the suggestions, but it still only copies one sketch. I am selecting multiple (which exist on one plane), selection "Copy", selecting the new plane, and selecting "Paste". This only copies one sketch...

That's the problem you can only copy on sketch at a time.
