Edit an Extrude Cut Feature

joeMVETK — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 00:59:48 GMT

Ok, I give up. How do I edit the sketch for this hole I made. None of the sketches or extrudes shown contain it as far as I can tell. When I highlight it, only the component and body are underlined in the tree. I feel like I should just be able to right-click the feature then select "edit", but that option is not in the context menu. Doing this is SolidWorks is stupid simple; is my brain just broken, what am I missing here?

Your active design does not contain any Extrudes or sketches that I can tell. All the geometry is in Inserted designs. This is no different than Solidworks (the external designs are like parts in Solidworks). If you want to edit that hole's sketch in the "Back Plate" component, you will have to open it. If you have a commercial license, you can Edit in Place, but if not, right click on "Back Plate", and choose "Open". This will open another tab on that design, and you will be able to edit it there.

Ok, I figured this out, and technically this was my issue. However, Fusion kind of set me up to fail on this. What I did not realize is I set the "show/hide" for the "Black Plate V2" Sketches at its top level on the tree to "hide". That is my bad and I now know to look for that going forwarded. However, I feel hiding a sketch should not disable the underscore when the corresponding feature on the model is selected. There is no downside to this, and it would have directed me to the show/hide icon to clue me into the issue.

Thank you for responding, I really do appreciate the assistance!
