Trimming parts of a sketch

[michael_ray_neal]

Hi all,

See attached files as I created an oversized cup holder for my Wife's car.  As you can see its a small cup to big cup holder. The big cup sits onto a table with is square I call Table. I want to trim the excess table around the cup ring but can't figure out how to do this.  If I edit the Table sketch I only see the table and not any outline of the Rail ring.  Can you point a poor soul in the right direction.  The goal here is to have the Table the same size shape as the Rail Ring.

Perfect.... I see where it creates a new Body with the trimmed Table.  Am I to understand the the original Table Body should stay and not be deleted as the new Body Table (1) requires the Original Body Table?.... Or if I just want the new Body Table (1) I can delete the original Body Table?

Hi,

1. To be on the safe side, I recommend not deleting, but using the REMOVE tool.
The action can be undone later in the timeline.
2. you can also achieve your goal with ectrude/cut.
However, it is sometimes difficult to find the right profile.
