Were sketches

[TECNOMODEL]

is it possible in inventor to use for one part a sketch present in another so that the second part changes also the first part?

For example, I create a part with a certain profile, then I have to create a second that matches the first and therefore has the same profile.

I would therefore like to import the sketch having the possibility to change both sides by changing one sketch.

create the "a" part with the profile you need.
create a new blank part, click on "derived component", select the "a" part, select the sketch you want, click ok.
you will then have a sketch dependent on the "a" part.

I have the 2015 version, the derived component key didn't find it.
I had tried with the drift button, I don't know if it's the same, but I care the whole part apart from the sketch.
Does that work?
then what do you do, eliminate the solid to and keep the sketch?
Monday, I'll make a few more attempts.

I can't select the sketch I need, also I can't uncheck the solid.
the result is that I care about the solid but not the sketch

I have tried with another file and can uncheck the solid and choose the sketch.
The only problem is that I don't see all the sketches of the part but only some.
should they be activated somehow to be able to derive them?

Looks like he's here.

I have another problem: I see the sketch that updates to the change of part to, but I can't use it to make an offset or hook geometry while I can use it to extrude.

you must make "shared" sketches of origin

I have another problem: I see the sketch that updates to the change of part a, but I can't use it to make an offset

boh, if I double-click the derived sketch I can use it for offset

but first uses the project geometry?

 

[MauroM]

no no need, the derived sketch is to all effects a selectable sketch, only that you can not control the size as it is dependent on another "crash".

I have strange behaviors, sometimes I can project geometry other times not.
If, for example, I have to create a profile dependent on a derived sketch but on a different plane I imagine having to project geometry.

 

[MauroM]

Of course, if the sketch is different from the derived one... you can't do anything but project.
