Draft angle not working

Anonymous

Hi there, I am new to forums and asking for support.. so I apologise If I'm not posting correctly.

 

I am trying to put a draft angle on the extruded rectangular sketch, it works with no draft angle but as soon as I try add any angle I get a error message as depicted in the pictures I have attached. Please help, and let me know if I'm posting correctly.

 

I'm not sure how screencasts work?

I think the error message here is pretty accurate.  With no draft angle, the profile is very close to the edge of the selected face:

when you add draft, a positive draft will go outward, and will likely no longer hit the selected face:

You can probably get around this by changing the "Chain Faces" option to "Chain", but if the tool body misses the body entirely, that will fail as well.
