copy skecth in part file and keep reference to projected geometry

[Mike686]

is there a way to copy a sketch with projected geometry, in the same part file and on the same working plane

and keep the projetcted geometry link so when the geometry change it changes all the copied skecth

rigth now it ain't working for me

i have a sketch that have some prejetcted point frome anothe sketch in the part file

when i copy/paste the sketch if i change the geometry the copied sketch doesnt update

am i missing something?

Attach your file here.

No. When you copy and paste you copy and paste the geometry, no the associativity with the projected edges of the previous sketch.

To go with parametric you can use parameters or ifetaures in this case.

here, inventor 2014 format

i have the original sketch, the the 2 copy

[Mike686]

i think with the copy 2 i was trying to copy it on a different workplane

Can you supply more information on your design intent?

I don't think I have ever seen an Inventor file like this and don't really understand your end-goal.

Hi! This is indeed a limitation in Inventor. Unfortunately, when the sketch definition plane is changed, the link will be broken. It is because depending on the new definition plane, the associativity may not be preserved anyway. But, In some cases preservation is possible. There is room for improvement here.

Thanks!
