I create a model of something and want to transfer this to another file, is it possible? I couldn't drag

You can attach a sketch on each face and redraw the outline using external geometry.

I want to loft two faces.
External geometry looks promising but the lines don't turn white

I also found out there is a whole measurement menu

I have two parts and want to loft two faces of these parts together, I need to create face profiles or wire profiles I think but I don't understand how. Please help .

The measurement tool is hard to use because it is not along axis, so I am requesting that you can choose to measure along x, y or z axis.

Not bad with simple means, but only rotating limits my creativity. Still thanks

Using the pattern function in draft with circular mode could be something.

Well, the principle can still be the same... FC is not a "drawing" program like inkscape or the like. So, when you want thick lines, you need closed shapes which are the base for features ´"filling" them. Your shapes seen on then images should not be so difficult to construct..e...

is this what you want ? It´s parametric , size and width are steered by the 2 dimensions at the left .. Be sure to leave a GAP at the center to finally have concentric closed shapes.. 2018-02-22 13_40_40-FreeCAD.png Sketch : ( made using most current .17 Version ) Thanks for your effort! But it is ...

The pattern that I created is to be decoration, a pocket in a cement wall, so it needs to have a thickness. The pattern will continue along the whole wall, so there will be more than two circles. That sounds to me as if you should model only one of the circles and use a pattern afterwards. Part->Of...

Would you mind telling us what you want to achieve. We are looking at the details but I don't get the whole picture - which might affect the overall modeling.
