In my part i got a reference sketch curve which i would like to be able to see in the drawing made of the part. Is this possible somehow?

Im thinking if i can make my sketch visible temporary in the drawing i can project the curve to the drawing.

If you're working in the Master Model Drawing mode, all that you have to do is go back to the master piece part and first make sure that the sketch it visible (not internal to a feature). Now go into...

Format -> Reference Sets...

...and simply add the sketch to the Model Reference Set. Now if you ONLY want one or two curves from the sketch to show up on your Drawing, you don't need to add the entire sketch to the Reference Set as you can use QuickPick to select ONLY those sketch curves you wish to include.

John, thanks but because it is a reference curve i cannot choose it to project. I cannot snap to i at all.
 
when choosing "active sketch view" after doing what you told me made it possible to use my reference curves.

Thanks for your help
