How to copy sketch geometry

[tabby1]

How do you do to copy sketch geometry from one plane to another plane in the same model file ? Do you use blocks or other issue ? Thank you

Pick the Sketch and Edit Copy, Edit Paste to another plane... or Window select the sketch and Edit Copy, Edit Paste.

Select geometry (or complete sketch from the FM ), Ctrl C, Ctrl V

-or-

If planes are parallel, use Covert Entities into a new sketch.

I'm always leery of "convert entities"… it seems to bog things down and is prone to dangle. I'll trace over the seed sketch if it is a onetime thing, if it is repeated I'll go with a block.

I may also ctrl-drag the sketch from the feature tree to the plane.
