vertical horizons Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I want to create a new part, based on an existing part. Basically, the existing part is an irregular flange, and I want to create a gasket, based on the design of that flange. However, I am missing a step somewhere - I open a new assembly; I bring in an existing component (the irregular flange); I select INSERT COMPONENTS > NEW PART; I select the plane that I want the new part to be based on (to build the gasket); (This puts me into "SKETCH" mode.) I select "CONVERT ENTITIES"; I select all of the bolt holes & the outer and interior edges; Then, click on the "OK" symbol; I exit sketch mode; I go to "FEATURES". This is where I get hung up. What is the next step that would give my new part "thickness'? Flange.SLDPRT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I only see the Flange part. I do not see a Gasket part with the projected (Convert Entities) sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMadoka Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 If I understand correctly (??) If you have the sketch, the next step would be to extrude... that is the thickness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
