Inserting an Existing Sketch

Context:

You must have a sketch activated when inserting a sketch. The inserted sketch becomes part of the current active sketch. When you select a model to insert into the sketch, all the available Ordered Geometrical Sets and sketches within the chosen model appear in the dialog box menus. If the selected model does not have a sketch or Ordered Geometrical Set, "Model has no sketches" displays.

Note: When updating standard cutouts and electrical hardware, be sure the app library is up to date, see Update Content Library.
