    Moving sketches between parts?

    Hey all, a seemingly trivial issue here. I've been making a model plane model in inventor 2012 from imported IGES geometry, and Realised that my sketches were not assigned to any part (and thus can't be lofted). Is there any way of moving the sketches to the newly created part without redrawing everything? I've tried dragging and dropping because it seemed to make sense, but alas, that had no success.

    And about Copy & Paste? Have tested?

     

    You can also make a Derived Part to take only the sketch.

    Do either of theose methods copy the location (orientation/offset etc. ) of the sketch?

    Derive is a linked copy of the original file, so the sketch is in exactly the same location and orientation.
