Q) How do you make a copy of a sketch in DesignModeler, and then Paste that sketch into a new sketch?

A) With the original sketch open, click on the modify tab. Select the part (or all) of the sketch you would like to copy, click on the copy button. Right click in the viewport and select "Use Origin as Paste Handle, this sets the origin as the reference point. Create a new sketch and once again click on modify. Click on the Paste option, you can now choose if you would like to rotate the sketch and or scale it. If neither simply right click and choose to Paste at plane handle, this will paste it back in the same spot of the sketch as it was copied. Right click again and paste additional sketches or choose end to stop pasting the sketch. In Ansys 10, you will no need to goto the Modify tab, as both copy and paste will be available via the RMB menu.
