Use same sketch for several components ?

[romain_Gle]

Hi,

I want to use a sketch ("ergots") and extrude it "joined" to one component (CASE BOTTOM), but use the same sketch and extrude "cut" to another component(CASE TOP). I put the sketch in the main file and expect to extrude it by selecting the component but I can't select it (actually I can't even extrude when selecting source tree).

I guess I am not using the right workflow but I don't know how to do.

Thanks for your help.

Please attach your model.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section, of a forum post, to attach it.

Edit the sketch "ergots"and toggle the "Profile" check box in the Sketch Palette off and on.  For some reason the profile will not show up until you do this.  The rest is down-hill.  I have attached your model with a 4 mm symmetrical extrusion, one cut and one join as requested.
