Making Multipul Punches Into One

[ASchlaack]

I know I've asked a ton about punches today but I've got one last thing... I have 3 punches and I'd like to be able to turn them all into one punch. Can I do that and how? It doesn't allow me to Extract iFeature like making a normal punch.

Do you have the original generating geometry for all three?

Are you talking about placing 3 punches onto a part and then trying to extract those into a new punch..

if so.. nope.

If this is just 3 different shapes you have sketched/cut and assuming there is only 1 center point used in all of those sketched then yes.

HI!

In theory, the awnser is yes, you can add several features to a punch.

I need a punch to say "CS&S", I have punches that are "C", "S", and one that's an "&". Each one is adjustable by height, I wanted to combine all three punches to make one that says "CS&S" but is still adjustable by height. In this drop box is a folder with all three punches. This site wont allow you to attach punches due to their file type. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/037iddirr95j7k7/AAB6bIII2d7OeaMwHW_7eowTa

I would be interested in the originating geometry *.ipt (which I always keep), not the punch *.ide file.

Any set of files can be attached here by right clicking on the folder in which they are contained and selecting Send to Compressed (zipped) folder.

Autodesk360 is a good "drop-box", I avoid all others since some install stuff I don't want without my consent.

You can't create a punch from a punch..

You need to place all the geometry into 1 ipt file and create the punch.

Or just use the punch tool once for each letter on whatever parts you want this applied to.. But if you use that logo CS&S all the time then just make a single punch tool.
