Can't draft extrude past .5deg
Can't draft extrude past .5deg
(OP)
Why is it that I can't put a draft of more than .5 degrees on an extrude? The sketch is from an imported dxf and its quite complex. It contains a lot of small lines that I wish were splines instead. It's a text logo. Any ideas? Thanks.

A) One of those lines would disappear with that draft--and cause a surface problem.
B) One of those lines isn't tangent with the others and would create a problem if extruded (surface flaw).
In this case, I ALWAYS retrace the logo to get what I want. Attempting to import a DXF sketch and use it for almost anything--most especially a drafted feature--is normally a problem. Trace over the DXF sketch to create what you need, then extrude it and hide the DXF noise.

The part is too complicated. DXF files should be cleaned up before use.
