How to put a loft sketch on a drawing?

Hi,

 

I have created a loft from 4 different sketches. Now I want to make a drawing with the front, side view and the dimensions of the 4 profile sketches from the loft. But I can’t find a way to put the sketches from the part on my paper. It works with copy-paste ;^) but this is not the way I want it (it’ll not change when I change the profiles in the part).

If you create your loft profiles as sketch blocks, you could lay them out separately and create a view of the layout sketch...

Thank you for the reply

I try it but it only shows the sketch that is planar to the view.

I can't see the profiel sketches.

(ipt) I changed my model so it uses sketchblocks but I'm not sure how to put them on my paper.

(ipt) I used the export function in the blocks section of the part. 
(idw) I made a draft view but there is no way to import the sketchblock in the sketch of the draft view. 

 

I don't know what you mean with layout?

 

Thank you for the reply, I'm learning every day.

make secondary sketches on the same planes as your profile sketches. draw a rectangle, then use boundary patch to make a 'surface'. (and the edge of the surface should appear as a line on your drawing)

I'm fairly sure it will work, not the neatest solution but a quick patch.

Great, that's the first step.

Create a second sketch that will be perpendicular to the drawing view. Lay your sketch blocks out in this sketch. Create a part view with the rest of the solids turned off.

Create a drawing view of this part view, and then right click on it and chose 'Include model sketches' to bring them through onto the drawing.

P.S. Have you checked out the 'Slice view' tool in the drawing environment?
