Select Region Boundary Curves from multiple sketches?

Select Region Boundary Curves from multiple sketches?

Select Region Boundary Curves from multiple sketches?

(OP)
I want to create an Extrude feature using curves from multiple sketches that form the boundary I want to use for the extrude. It seems this is not possible, I can only select regions from curves from the same sketch.

In the attached image I want to select the innermost triangle boundary (the small straight line belongs on a different sketch than the other curves), but NX is not allowing me to do so.

Is this not possible?

Thanks.

Seems to be so, but works fine if project all the needed curves on the one sketch.

RE: Select Region Boundary Curves from multiple sketches?

If I understand correctly, you should be able to toggle on "stop at intersection", and make sure you are selecting "curves", and not "feature curves" in your selection filter. I use curves from different sketches all the time.

RE: Select Region Boundary Curves from multiple sketches?

Are you trying to do this while the part is a work part within an assembly? I have had some issues when trying to pick curves from different sketches while the part is a work part in the assembly. Try making the part the displayed part and trying it again. I doubt that this is the issue but worth trying.

Gunman, yes that's an option which works.

Sorry, i suggested that you wanted to use a Region Boundary Curves option in Extrude to select the innermost boundary in sketch.
