    Project Cut Edges no work WHY??

    Dear Sir/Madam

     

    Please take a look at part 4 model.

    I have created a sketch on view XX plane.

    Project Cut Edges is available to use.

    I try using it but not getting the correct response compared to U-Tube video tutorial. Please See URL attached.

    Can you explain why I can't get the Cut Edges on my model part.

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBu3UjXG_cM&list=PLMuTLDS9lopJfXVW7J13c7d-ccrMZTUAK&index=1&feature=p...

     

    U-Tube tutorial is called "Emergency Light Cabinet" Inventor. Volume 1.

    Time stamp for video is 1 hour 48mins 25 seconds.

     

    Kind regards

    A CAD Student.

    Seems to work fine for me can you post more details? Also, just a recomendation... Keep your sketches around the origin, unless there was some kind of design intent i missed with your work plane1. How did work plane1 become addaptive anyways? It is the first feature in the tree...

    Hello

    What I meant before is I am creating a new sketch on the XY plane. Then Project the Geometry by using the Cut Edges command which when I then click the part it comes up with an error message.

     

    Failed to project cut edges.

    Project Cut Edges did not produce any output geometry.

    Sketch 10: Problems occurred while building this sketch.

     

    This is what I still get can you suggest what I am doing wrong compared to the video.

     

    Kind regards

    I do not see this Sketch10 in your file.

    (don't need to actually sketch or project anything.

    just start the sketch, exit sketch save and post)


    It works fine on my machine with your file following the video - the only thing I can assume is you started the sketch on the wrong plane (the assembly plane by chance? since there is no sketch in the file).

    Hello:

    I dont understand how I cant do it after creating sketch 10 in the XY plane project cut edges is there to use but when I pick my part it comes up with the errors. I am able to slice the graphics where the cut edges need to be but its not doing it, I just get the errors.

     

    I have saved it now after I have created the sketch.

    To see if it will still work with you please.

     

    Kind regards

    That is really strange - looks like a bug in 2013 to me.

     

    I got the error.

    Assumed your sketch was on wrong plane so drew a circle.

    Saw that your sketch was on correct plane so tried Project Cut Edges again and it worked this time?

    It looks really strange, and the error will show when creating project cut edge. If one sketch circle is created first, then creating project cut edge, it works fine. Please see the attached image. Anyway this issue has been logged as 1475822 in our tracking system.
