Copy sketch geometry in a sketch with driven dimensions

[Terry_N]

Hi, I have found when in a part sketch if I am placing the same geometry in different places I will usually go ctrl c ctrl v and it will create new dimensions and parameters for them, often I want them to be the same as the original. I propose that in the copy dialogue a tick box be added to derive dimensions or the dimension get replaced with an equal constraint to the original line. The deriving parameters seems like it would be more user friendly so you can easily change a dimension if you want to make it mostly the same but different in one dimension. So in the screen shot with dimension derived ticked the copy for d53 would have d<whatever the new dimension is> = d53 rather than 12mm.

This would also be useful for if clipboard is ticked you could then paste it in a new sketch with the parameters driven.

Optionally automatically linking parameters to their source when copy/pasting a sketch would be handy for making something similar but slightly different. I would use a block if it's 100% the same, but you're talking about the ability to easily modify a part of the sketch/sketch loop which breaks the block. Nice idea!

Just had another thought if you made cntl + Shift + V to paste with driven parameters would make the whole process much quicker as well.
