Create a new component in the design 2. Activate the component 3. Create a sketch in this component (on the component’s default planes and not the root component’s planes) 4. Create body from the sketch 5. Activate root design 6. Perform save copy as of the component   When you compare the results, you’ll note that the sketch/feature/body will "stick together" with a component using workflow 2. Workflow 2 better preserves the parametric features for later use.     In workflow 1, the body is simply converted to a direct modeling feature (Create Base Feature). For workflow 1, the results are similar to importing a file of the originating file. The results is a "dumb" solid.   Two tips for component creation: -creating components first to serve as root folders for sketches and bodies -activating components as necessary to edit and add features   Thanks to <a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1076174">@Phil.E</a>  for posting tips in the below conversation. <A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/sketching-sculpting-modeling-and/copy-paste/m-p/5361061/highlight/true" target="_self">http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/sketching-sculpting-modeling-and/copy-paste/m-p/5361061/highlight/true</A>        Hope that helps.   Thanks,     Tue, 03 Feb 2015 00:35:07 GMT innovatenate 2015-02-03T00:35:07Z
