Doubly Nested Contour
Doubly Nested Contour
(OP)
I just tried to rebuild a sketch that had previously rebuilt. I received this message, "The sketch contains a doubly nested contour.". I've deleted the highlighted lines and redrawn them, but I can't get rid of the message. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks.
Sylvia

Can you upload a screen shot to engineering.com?

When trying to extrude, highlight the Selected Contours section and select the areas (not geometry) you want extruded.

To solve this when I do it, instead of deleting the contour, transform that contour into construction lines. Use a new sketch to convert the entities of those construction lines and a new cut/boss feature with the new sketch. Breaking this into two steps allows SW to understand what you're attempting to do.

This is one of the items that is not well identified in SWX help, but it looks like "contour types for features" is the closest thing.
