Extrude Portion of a Sketch

Extrude Portion of a Sketch

Extrude Portion of a Sketch

(OP)
Hello,

I'm using NX 8.5.

I havn't been using NX for a while and I remember an option to Extrude just a portion or just a part of a sketch.

Like if I had a sketch with a bunch of circles I could Extrude only one of'em.
Does that option exists or I'm just out of my mind?

Thanks!

RE: Extrude Portion of a Sketch

Yes, the Extrude function allows you to use various options listed in the 'Curve Rule' item on the 'Selection Bar' to control how much of a Sketch you wish to select. If you use either the 'Infer Curves' or 'Feature Curves', you will get the entire Sketch. However, if you use either 'Single Curve' or the newer 'Region Boundary Curves' you will only get that portion of the Sketch that you actually selected, as seen in the video attached below. There are a couple of other 'Curve Rule' options that you could have used, but in the scenerio that you've outlined, the two that I've mentioned above will probably be your best bet.
