Deleting extrude without losing sketch

[Anonymous]

Hi, when I'm deleting an extrude I lose my sketch which the extrude is made from. How do I delete the extrude without touching the sketch?

Kind regards

Hi,

>> How do I delete the extrude without touching the sketch?

You can use/activate SELECTIONCYCLING (>>>details<<<) so you get a popup for all objects under the cursor position to choose which object you want to select.

But let's see another systemvariable: DELOBJ (>>>details<<<) ... maybe the base object for extrusion already is deleted after you created and extrusion from it 😉

You may want to try PRESSPULL instead of EXTRUDE.

It leaves the sketch entities behind.

For the future consider taking advantage of the delobj setting options.

[parkr4st]

once you delete and realize the error   CTRL Z and put the extrusion back, CTRL Z again and undo the extrusion

or eXplode the extrusion once, and then you can delete individual surfaces and not the entire object.

Then set the delobj and proceed properly
