Make Sketch from Assembly Section View
Make Sketch from Assembly Section View
(OP)
In an assembly I created a section view. I then created a sketch from the section view plane. Now I can select the profile geometry of the section but SW wont let me convert the geometry to the sketch?? Is there a way to do this? Or maybe there is a better way.

CBL, I like the sound of this, but I can't make it work yet. I'm in an assenmbly model. I have a section view from the front plane of my assembly. I select the front plane and then select the intersection curve tool. It creates a sketch, but there is nothing on the sketch. I started over and then I selected the cut view geometry and the plane and then the intersection curve tool and I get an error saying "No Legal combinations or selected entities were found."
Can you straighten me out...

2) Open a new 2D sketch on the plane.
3) Activate the Intersection Curve tool.
4) Select the parts (from the Manager tree).
NOTES:
Clicking on individual faces will create geometry for that face only.
As you select each part, it's outline should be added to the sketch.
If the part is made of multiple bodies, you have to expand the tree & select each body indivdually.
