Unable to creat form tool in tool library

I've tried without success to create an AB Tools Parker Dovetail cutter.  I have the profile and have it fully constrained.  I want the compensation point to be the center, bottom of the tool.  Can someone help teach me how to make this work please?

 

Thank you

So there appears to be something wrong with your sketch, but I'm not sure what exactly, also I don't believe it is correctly dimensioned, but I may be wrong as I am not sure which particular AB tools cutter you are trying to create.

 

do you have a dimensioned drawing from them?

Their website doesn't have enough info to create the tool from what I can see.

 

When you go to select the sketch in the form tool dialog it should select the whole outline in one click, not several.

This worked well.  I had to change the compensation point in order to have this simulate correctly but that was pretty easy after this fix as implemented.

 

Thank you
