This is the first time I am working with Solid Body" concept..I have a part with certain features but these don't show under "Solid Bodies" in the Feature tree. Now if I want to "merge" these certain features to make a solid body so that I can copy that body elsewhere in the part, how can I do...

I have a super tight deadline on this thing and I have been really stuck for the last 2 days!!! I must follow things in this order: - Create base sketch - Create fillet - Create additional features (sweep around a 3D sketch that contains the fillets created above) - Create draft (SW doesn't...

I am trying to draft the faces of a cubic box whose edges are filleted. But SW won't let me do it. Is there a way around it? I can't delete fillet to draft, as a lot of other features were built on those fillets. Thanks to all the readers

Hav eno experience or knowledge of surfacing...any good references/sources on surfacing?

Thanks guys!! This is the image: http://209.250.130.101/downloads/FsxInfo/mybox.jpg The problem is: The sweep is following a 3D sketch. The profile goes around the box/base along the 3D sketch and joins the starting point. Now if you look at the top straight edge, you will see 2 faces of...

I don't know how to put an image in this forum...anyone?

Thanks guys! I tried doing this and it almost worked. I created a 3D sketch first to work as the path. Then created a profile perpendicular to it. But when I sweep it, it gives error "Can't create because of zero-thickness geometry". I am not sure what's the problem..

Hi everyone I have a profile which I want to sweep along a curve that is not planar. Is it possible to do this? Thanks

I am not sure how to do this, I have never done it before what Theophilus and mnCAD are suggesting. I have a part with some features that I want to save separately for the purpose of making a cavity in other parts. I haven't created the cavity yet. I tried selecting the features in part file...

Let's say I have a cuboidal hollow box with some features on one face. Now I want to create a door that will replicate those features (as cavity) so that the dorr will close on the box. I used cavity to create the female version of these features on the door. Now I can create a cavity only once...

I am trying to change the color of certain faces of a part which is in an assembly. The problem is - the color does get changed in the part file, but once I go back to the assembly, the whole part shows up as monochrome. How can I avoid this?

Thanks Theophilus!! I am using SW03. So I guess that extra extrude feature is not available in that version, is it?

Just wondering if a sketch can be extruded in a direction that is not perpendicular to the sketch plane, instead it is inclined at an angle to the sketch plane? Thanks to all the readers

I am trying to make an in-context part in an assembly. I project and offset a part's profile to create a sketch for another part. Then I fillet the first part's edges. Then if I suppress those fillets, I get an error message that the second part's sketch has dnagling edges etc. How can I get...

I am using SW03. Is that a bug in that version?

I am trying to linear pattern a extruded cut using the Vary Sketch option, so that the pattern follows an inclined edge. However, the "Vary Sketch" checkbox is disabled in the linear Pattern dialog box. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? Thanks

Hi everyone I am trying to measure some distances using the Measure feature. For example, I selected 2 edges. The tool says "Items are aparalle". Then a whol;e bunch of distances show up. Now I know that the distance is 1.5in. However, one of the entries in measure box is Normal distance...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Assy Cut feature works. Hoiwever, saving the section view in the Orientation box doesn't work. After I save the view, it does show up in the Orientation Box but double clicking it doesn't yield the section view. I am not sure what's the problem..

What is an Assy Cut?

I am trying to create section views of parts/assemblies, not drawings. I tried saving the section view. It does appear in the orientation toolbar but when I double click on the name, I don't get the section view...
