Punch Tool Placement Error - The file has 0 volume changing features

Hi,

 

I'm rather new to Inventor, I'm using Inventor 2014.

 

I created a Punch Tool iFeature, everything seemed fine, I could save it without problems.

 

However, when I try to place it in a part with the Punch Tool, it says "The file has 0 volume changing features. To be a valid punch tool, the .ide file must contain at least 1 sketch-based feature."

 

Could you please help me with this problem, what am I doing wrong?

 

Thank you!

Try this

in your first sketch create another construction line perpendicular to the existing construction line.

Use the new construction line and the sketch center point to create the workplane rather than using the part face.

Do the Extrude Cut before the Extrude Join. 

 

Also, your two extrusion sketches have a Projected Origin Center Point - delete these points.
