I always seem to struggle with sketch selection when creating a feature;
i.e. simple extrusion with 2 circles, one on the face of a previous feature,
he other the existing sketched circle. I know you can de-select after both
are highlighted and selected.. is this the only way?. I am currently
attempting a loft going from a circle on the face of an existing octagon
feature to a larger circle .75" away. NO matter what I try, the octagon
portion is picked up as part of the loft (I only want the circle inside of
it).

Nick:

Is there anything preventing you from making the octagon out of
construction lines?
