Tracing a complex logo, simpler way than selecting all segments?

[3DMake.no]

Hello

I have a sketched logo that I want to trace on many of my parts. However this is composed of a series of arcs and lines.

Do I need to select each segment for every part I'm making a CAM for this logo, or is there some way of combining all theese lines and arcs so that the trace command automatically selects everything when I'm doing the CAM?

Thanks for any responses!

You should be able to select the sketch from the feature tree and this will select all sketch geometry.

I didnt know this was possible. This will save me a ton of time. Thank you very much! 🙂

That's why we're here! Glad to have shown you a new trick.

Thank you for this it helped me out alot also, but I have a question.

When I select a sketch from the model tree, it makes a conventional cut with my tool, how can I reverse the direction of cut so I can climb mill?

Thanks

When you select a Sketch entity, it doesn't know which side of the part you want to be on. Inside or outside? Who knows! Your best option is to select the model edge. If you CAN'T do that for whatever reason, there is a little red arrow to allow for change of direction. Also, make sure your Sideways Compensation is set to Left (climb milling)
