Pad function does not always work. Help. Beginner question.
(OP)
There is one thing that is baffling me.
When I do a sketch and then exit the Sketcher and then select 'pad,' sometimes the pad does not form. The sketch
disappears, and the 'pad definition' box has "NO SELECTION' under the profile-surface selection. If I go to try to reselect the sketch, it does not allow it. If I hit CANCEL on the pad-definition popup, the sketch reappears.
Most of the time it all works. It is as if something about the sketch is incompatible about turning into a pad. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
