Is there a way to combine 2D sketches from multiple files and keep the constraints?
I can get the sketches individually constrained but then when I copy and paste them into one file I have to start all over again. I'm currently at the point where I've got 90% of it constrained but hitting a wall and I'm just throwing dimensions at it trying to get the lines black with no luck.

If you save a file, it is saved as a component. So this means you have two saved files which contain sketches. You can open one, insert the other file (component) into it then move the sketches between them. In my Screencast, I did a very simple sketch transfer, so if you modeled something "fancy" there my be issues. You could share you two file containing the sketches and other could test it for you.

that did the job thanks, your a lifesaver! Now I just gotta figure out how to move them around but I should be able to figure that out. thanks again
the only thing I ran into was when i move the component it asks if I want to capture the position and I say yes and then unlink it and it places it where I moved it to ok..but once I drag the sketch layer up to the top it immediately snaps it to the main sketches origin and I can't move it. is there any difference to keeping it where it is under component vs having it under the main sketches category?
