any way to mirror a sketch onto another plane?

Henry Liu May 4, 2008 7:41 AM

Sorry if this is a newbie question but I looked through the help files and couldn't find an answer.

Is there any way to mirror a sketch onto another plane?

I have a sketch that is offset from the front plane by say 4". I can copy the sketch in the feature manager then paste it onto another plane.

The problem with that is if I modify it on one plane, it doesn't modify on the another.

I've been able to select each line segment and make an equal relation but it's a pain when there's so many lines.

I can't mirror just the features because I want to use the points in the sketch to define another plane. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can use the Derived Sketch command
Click ctrl and pick the sketch you want to mirror and the plane you want then go to
Insert -> Derived Sketch
the sketch will be copied to the plane you can use the black points to choose the sketch orientation.

You could also create a block of the sketch and insert it (linked) to both sketch planes.
