Circular cut pattern leaves slivers of body

[ptr727]

I am making a simple spacer, when I rotate the cut the result leaves slivers of body behind.

Other than making the cut drawing much larger than needed, is there a way to fix it such that the cut works?

Your sketch isn't fully defined.

See Attached.

Blue lines and white dots (and brown construction lines) should keep you awake at night.

Tip: When geometry doesn't show as fully defined - click and drag and observe.

Thx, I see that now when zooming in.

That's interesting, the circle and rectangle were drawn centerpoint and coincident on one edge, and then the other dimensions set to equal. 

If I do make it coincident I get an over-constrained error, I'll redraw and use constrained instead of equal dimensions.

You could have created the slots with a single line and Thin Feature Extrude rather than using a Rectangle.

Hi,

Simply create a tangential relationship between one (short) side of the center rectangle and the arc.
