Copying and pasting sketch results inverted

[zornzack]

Hi , I'm having problem of copying a sketch and pasting it to another sketch. When ever I copy and paste, the sketch seems to be upside down.any idea how to solve this?

[kevinwilcox46]

Same here. Be good to see this fixed!

Can you Attach your file here for experimentation?

4 years later, and this hasnt been addressed... yet they want to charge several thousands of dollars for this program that clearly has no back end support.

What's even more annoying about this bug, is that itll copy and past the orientation i need it. When I go to past it again, its inverted and off skew from the first paste. And good luck trying to get what you copied to move because the program just moves as slow as my Packard Bell from 1994.

Hi,

don't know what you are trying to accomplish with your post.
But include evidence when you make claims here.
1. for the price.
2. Demonstrate your copy example in a screencast with the errors described

Same problem here, ¿no solution yet?. Non of the above workaround has worked for me. 

Thanks!,

Hi!, yes, here it is.

Thanks!,

Unfortunately, the work around only works if you create the paste to sketch after the copy (for me).  It is still helpful when copying an entire sketch.

@holaZ68TQ 

There are multiple issues with this design.

Hi, I guess so, I'm just learning. Thank you anyway.

When I started using Fusion 360 in 2017 I remembered having stumbled upon this same problem with copying sketches.   Sometimes sketches copied upside down on to a new sketch plane.  With this thread I was able to realize there's some bug with copying to the XZ plane with Z axis up.

So I'm having the same problem again today as I picked up doing some more mechanic design work, only to discover that the problem has NEVER been addressed, and that was 4 years ago.  What's going on?

My oldest son just started high school and they were initially going to train using Fusion 360 but the teacher changed over to SolidWorks instead.  The understanding was that "Fusion is buggy" according to his instructor.  Well, an example like this certainly proves their point.  This is a basic flaw - why hasn't this been fixed yet?

By the way, the workaround doesn't work very well when copying sketches to different components.  We don't need a workaround, we need a solution.

Same here, I started using Fusion 360 again afetr a few years for s small project but this issue still remains.

I simply want to edit sketch one, copy the items in sketch one and paste them into earlier created sketch of sketch two which is created on the higher up face of the model. However, it never pastes 'in place' but gets inverted or rotated.

I tried to create a new sketch (sketch two) on a separate offset plane but this gives the same results.

When is this going to be fixed?

Many years later and a copy/paste bug is still not fixed?!?

The workaround only works in some of the cases, as reported by others.

[GDesigner1]

I'm a new Fusion 360 user coming from SolidWorks and Inventor, the fact that this still isn't fixed 6 1/2 years later is pretty concerning!

[jarkman]

Fusion is quite buggy. Sometimes new bugs and sometimes old friends. Sorry.

[GDesigner1]

Yep, I get it, that's true a-plenty with the other software I've used as
well. But this seems like a pretty big bug! On with the learning curve...

[TrippyLighting]

@GDesigner1 can you demonstrate that bug, perhaps in a screen cast ?

[kevinwilcox46]

Peter, I'm not sure if this is the right way to do a screen cast but here you go. Not the best example as it just demonstrates the sketch position shifting when pasted while maintaining it's orientation. For me, copy and paste will almost always result in the pasted sketch being inverted / rotated / shifted etc. It's no longer a big deal, 9 times out of 10 I'm copying and pasting in the same file and have learned it is ultimately quicker to project the lines instead, or just accept that I'll need to sort out the misplacement and deal with it. An oddity when doing this example this evening is that it wouldn't 'fail' consistently. Most of the time it pasted exactly as you'd wish, other times as shown. Perhaps someone can post a better example.

@kevinwilcox46 -the posted example isn't a bug per se. (or at least autodesk won't ever consider it one).   you'll note in your example that the pasted sketch is properly placed at the origin of the sketch, just as it was in the original sketch.  it's just that the origin of the sketch isn't where you expected it to be.  when you created your offset plane you selected the profile of the square in sketch1, not the origin plane. 

when you select a profile, or the face of a body, to use for an offset plane, the origin a sketch placed on that plane will be at the bounding box center of what ever was used to create the plane.

try it again, but be careful to select the origin plane for offset.  you'll get a deferent result.

[kevinwilcox46]

Thanks, that makes sense of why sometimes it was copying true to placement, sometimes not. While trying to capture the sequence for the screencast I subsequently switched to selecting the new plane from the tree, which I never do normally, and I think this is why it copied true. I’ll change my method from here on. I’ll also look at this when I next get the inversion / rotation issue, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it’s caused by the same kind of thing.
