The first is to copy and paste one sketch into another.\u00a0Select the first sketch and <strong>Copy<\/strong> it to your clipboard. Next, edit your second sketch and select <strong>Paste<\/strong>. Most of the constraints and dimensions will stay intact. However, you&#8217;ll still need to add additional constraints to fully constrain the sketch entities you just added.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second way to combine sketches is to use the <strong>Project<\/strong> command to project the sketch entities from the first sketch into the second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the Sketch Environment in Fusion, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/mastering-sketch-constraints-autodesk-fusion-tutorial\/\">this article on sketch constraints<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/mastering-sketch-visibility-and-dimension-visibility-in-fusion\/\">this article on sketch visibility<\/a>.
