Hello

 

In SolidWorks, when you create a sketch, there's a red sketch coordinate system which is the projection of the part coordinate system.

Can we define a different location and/or a different orientation for this landmark, as in Catia?

 

I couldn't find anything in the help.

 

Thank you.

There is also this method.

 

Recreate a coordinate system.

Thank you Mathieu,

 

Your link is about the blocks but it's also valid for the sketches.

 

It works!! Awesome!!

The objective of derived sketches is to duplicate a sketch while keeping a link to the initial sketch. The Copy/Paste method allows you to retrieve the geometry but in this case you have to recreate dimensions.
