Copy and Paste Sketches No Longer Available?

[drlou]

I recently upgraded from Inventor 2020 to 2022, and am now unable to copy and paste sketches between assemblies and parts. Making mock ups of potential design choices is an important part of my job, and not being able to project complex geometries from assemblies onto a sketch, from which I am able to quickly generate parts is absolutely killing my productivity. It is disappointing because I am able to create the projected geometry sketch in the assembly, it allows me to copy this sketch, but I am no longer able to paste the sketch in a new part. Is there a work around for this? Is this just a bug that is being ironed out in a future update? What's the deal here?

In my 2022 Inv. I was able to create a sketch in the assembly level, copy it, open a part, create a sketch within a part, then paste within it the assembly's sketch content. Does that work for you instead of pasting the sketch "feature" as a whole?

Unfortunately, while trying it that way (which is also the way I always did it) there is no "paste" option that comes from the drop down menu.

Do you have a Projected Loop?

But also as JD implies above, if you have a projected loop (expand the sketch feature node in the browser to check), you may wish to try right-clicking and breaking that link first. I am not sure though if that's a reason for the copy to not go through.

Nope, no projected loop. It just has a series of lines and a couple circles.
