Hi all.
I have found a 2D DXF of an aluminium profile I'd like to get in sketcher so I can pad / extrude as required.
I loaded the DXF in Draft WB, used Convert To Sketch, and it has given me a sketch. However the sketch cannot be padded - "Cannot use selected object. Selected object must belong to the active body." How can I copy that sketch to another, or make it part of the body?
TIA. Kel.
