Cannot copy sketch

[delboy]

Hi All
I think I am losing it. I am trying to copy a sketch to 2 other plains to create a helical gear tooth profile. Worked well up to about a week ago (see model att, but now whatever I do I just cannot copy and paste.
the sketch to the another plains to create a loft . I have highlighted the sketch, right clicked on the mouse, but no copy selection comes up, I have tried CTRL+C still no luck
If anyone has any clues on what I am doing wrong and can get this SOS back on track it would be appreciated. See the type of model I am trying to achieve but with a different helix and module to this gear.

I opened the sketch in your file and had no trouble copying/pasting it. I drag selected the entire sketch, right clicked it and selected copy with base point. I selected the origin as the base point.

right click/ past stamper, and it worked just fine.

Is this the part file your having trouble with?

Is it possible that you are forgetting to actually hover the cursor over one of the selected sketch figures when you right click?

Thanks for that Ken. That was the problem I was not hovering over the sketch. It was definitely a SOS moment.

Can you please tell my wife.
I can't . . . . . . I'm not that brave.
