Iwant lay my logo on parts and componets and some times extrude or cut the logointo sheetmetal, is there a way to import a sketch in to other sketches and scale it or give it dimensions???
 
Select the sketch in the tree manager. Press CTRL + C to copy this sketch. Go to in the new sketch and press CTRL + V to paste what you copy. Note that is a copy. No link between old sketch and the new one.


Hope that help you.


Good luck !
 
and then add dimmensions?


you see i am trying to use a AI file, thats what my logog is.


do you think that will still work?

If you are using an AI file, save as .dwg and import it into the drawing. Raster images cannot be dimensioned and will always show on top of everything else in the drawing.
