Create Sketch From Edge on Body

[Anonymous]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a sketch from an edge of a body?  From time to time I've downloaded a model and then found that I need to use one of it's edges to create a new sketch to create a part.  I know I could create a sketch on the face belonging to the edge then use it as a template but had hoped there could be a quick way like being able to select it then project it to a sketch.

So in summary:

Edit Target Sketch

Click on "Create" dropdown on toolbar -> project/include -> there are options to project geometry and to "include 3d Geometry"

Thank you for your solution, it´s created a locked sketch, I found on the forum, solution to convert  convert the purple projected lines to sketch lines.

no audio on mac - why can't you just post a short reply with text I don't like videos especially with no sound.
