I want to make a model like the first picture, so i copy the top sketch to bottom.  
I copy the rectangle first, than the circle(in two steps). but in the end they became two sketchs(the color is different) in same position (you can find it in second picture).  
In old version they should become only one sketch, so i wonder how to add something to a existing sketch?

I was also unable to create a loft like this. However, I was able to find a workaround:

1. Create the rectangle sketches _without_ the circles and loft those two sketches (Body 1).
2. Create the sketches of the circles and loft them (Body 2).
3. Subtract Body 2 from Body 1.

This is way more complicated than it should be. You should be able to just sketch the circle and rectangle on separate planes and loft them. This feels like a bug but if it’s not, the S3D team really should improve this.

You’re welcome, but I hope the S3D team will look at improving this because it’s not nearly as intuitive or user-friendly as it could be.
