Create a sketch using an existing outline

Hello

Sorry if my words are not right, I am a self-taught person. But here, I'm fishing...

1. I create a volume

2. I select a clip on my volume

3. My new sketch should be equal to the outline of the plane selected.

How to do it?

Thank you

Hello!

Take a look at the Convert Entities feature:

Good luck

Hello 

The "Convert Features" and "Offset Features" tools allow you to reuse existing outlines. Then, if you want to adjust your sketch, you can use "Adjust entities".
