Copying/Pasting A Sketch

This task shows how to copy/paste an image within the same document or within another document.
Open the CarSideView.CATProduct document from the Samples directory,  select Sketch Tracer from the Start -> Shape menu, and expand the specification tree.

  1. Right-click Painting.1 from the specification tree and choose the Copy contextual item.

  2. Right-click Painting Gallery from the specification tree and choose the Paste contextual item.

  3. Once the image has been copied in the Trim2.CATProduct document, double-click Painting.2 from the specification tree.

  4. Click the Flip text.

    The sketch axis is inverted.

  5. Click OK in the Sketch Parameters dialog box.
