Why am I unable to cut into this body unless i use a large distance?
At -10mm it seems to cut directly through the body
I'm 99% sure that the sketch is made directly on the surface of the body. Or maybe I'm wrong, what should I do here? I've attached my project file.
There is no rectangular profile in that file.
The triangle works as expected.
Might help...
Sorry I don't follow, will creating a body with boundary fill somehow allow me to cut into this body? How would I do that?
My ultimate goal is to put a bunch of text around the circle, by cutting into the body and then extruding it again to embed it into the disc, allowing me to assign a different color in my 3d printing software.
So will this solution work for text too?

In the screencast I have limited the process to a section in order to shorten the computing time.

This is a strange one. It only fails when the cut starts on the converted mesh body, and only the body. If a sketch shape is partially on the body, and partially in space, it behaves as expected entirely. Once the extrude passes into space at 4mm depth it computes correctly.
This appears to be a problem with the converted mesh body because it doesn't do this with scratch built solids. (report FUS-163892)
