Increase length of irregular shaped object

Anonymous

Hi all. I started using Fusion 360 yesterday. I made this object. I need to add 30mm more to the length.  The only way I can think of right now is to start again from scratch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Screen Shot 2020-05-15 at 6.58.10 PM.png

The answer to your question depends on how you modeled it.  Please attach your model for the forum users to take a look at it and advise.  You should always attach a model it your are asking questions directly about it.  You attach the model by opening the model in Fusion 360, go to File -> Export and save it to your hard drive.  Then you attach it to your forum question using the Attachments section down below the Details section (where you have typed your message).

I exported it and attached it here. What I was planning to do earlier is put a line around the the rectangle so I can separate the center. Once it's been separated, I will extrude. But I was hoping there is an easier way.

I ignored all the extra data in your model and worked with the features that composed your original post screen capture.  You said you are just starting with Fusion 360.  Take my advice, you will enjoy it a lot more if you study some of the free "get started" tutorials.  Your model was all over the place, sketches not related and not constrained.  I fixed your model enough to show you how to change the length with one dimension.  Take a look at the Screencast.  I attached my modifications with a different file name.  To open it, choose File -> Open, Open from my Computer and browse to the folder you downloaded it to.

Another question John. I can't find the modified file you mentioned. I followed your instructions but I don't see any new files.
