Can't seem to convert entities
Can't seem to convert entities
(OP)
Hi everyone
I have a simple assembly with 2 parts A & B. Part B was created in-context. Now I am trying to convert some entities on Part A so that I can project these entities on Part B and extrude. I go Edit Component, open a new skecth, but when I try to select entities I want to convert, it won't let me select those entities or any other entities on Part A.
Any suggestions why this could be happening? I am using SW2003.
Thanks to all readers.

RE: Can't seem to convert entities
My Assumption is that you are selecting two faces that share the same edge, or two seperate faces. This command will not work then. Only select one face at a time when using offset entities.
Try just selecting all the edges. And then use convert entities. If this still fails, convert each edge one at a time, the only reason this couldn't work would be the problem stated in the first line of the post.
A tip: make convert entities a shortcut key. I use Alt+Z and this makes things really fast when using your shift and control keys with the mouse buttons to control view. Convert enties is very useful for creating closed 3d sketches and using them to make a filled surface.
