Cannot Cut
Cannot Cut
(OP)
Okay this is going to sound extremely retarded but I cannot cut through a part.
Before I begin explaining the problem let me say I have restarted SW and restarted the whole computer several times.
I am on a part file. I draw a circle on the top plane and click on Extrude Cut. I can manipulate the cut length (or do up to surface, offset from surface, etc) but then when i click OK i get a popup that says "Rebuild Errors: The Feature failed to cut the body."
At this point, I feel like smashing the mouse. Ive had 2 other ME's look at this problem and we are all stumped. The sketch is clearly okay ready to go and it SHOULD cut, however, something is up, and we dont know what it is.
Help.

RE: Cannot Cut
Hello uGlay,
Is the big disc a "surface" as opposed to a "body"?
Cheers,

RE: Cannot Cut
An easier way may be to select the face of the disc when making the cut.
gatz ... It's the two yellow forms which are making the cut, not the boss.

I have moved on and into another feature and I am able to do extrude bosses no problem but cannot do any more cuts.

RE: Cannot Cut
I found that there was a point in the assembly that if i rolled back I could execute Extrude-Cuts, but if i rolled forward past that point, I couldnt do ANY Cuts. So the point at which this happened was where there was a group of 5 or 6 fillets added by the last M.E. (which are unnecessary at this point and can be added later with no incident) and I deleted them, rolled forward and the cuts were able to be executed.
