close loop function

Have sketched the geometry for an 18 tooth circular sawblade. However I have had difficulty applying the close loop function. As a result am not yet able to extrude the saw blade. Can someone please tell me precisely why what to do to implement close loop? Thanks in advance. Best wishes. Will

1. Don't! - create one tooth and patter the feature

(do this experiment - right mouse button and Show All Constraints. It should be obvious why it is better to pattern features rather than sketch entities.
