How to copy and paste part of a sketch

I wish to copy the geometry I defined at the top of this sketch to the exact same locations on the three other sides of the 15mm square.  Is there a way to do this or do I need to re-create it on each edge?

 

thanks,

DLC

Hi @RoboDLC,

 

Absolutely! I'd recommend using either Sketch > Circular Pattern or Sketch > Rectangular pattern, depending on how you want the copies positioned. That way, any changes made to the original will be reflected in the copies. I'll post a screencast in a few minutes with a quick example.

Nice.  Was there audio in this that I am not hearing or is it just silent?

 

Many thanks,

Thanks for the help.  Your example was pretty fast and I am not good enough to follow it all.  The steps are partially faded out on the left and hard to follow.  I need to watch more instructional videos.

 

Onward!
