How to extract edges in Form mode?
Hi Travis,
I assume you are talking about Free Form. In the environment, the geometry is not parametric. The Brep body is converted after you finish the edit. To get "edges" you will need to create workplanes and split or intersect the converted body.
Many thanks!
I come from Fusion 360 feature.
1/ select edges like this:
2/ use Pipe feature in Form mode
I'm finding similar feature in Inventor
Thank
Travis
Create a plane in the form environment and line up with the edge you extract, make sure Autosize is ticked.
Then exit of the form environment and start a sketch, use project cut edges (under project geometry).
Here's what you should see when you have created the plane, I can create a quick screencast if that would help.
Hi Admin;
Why did you mark as Solution?
Create Plane and Project Cut Edge, It's not general method. For example the case below:

I think you should not do it when We're finding general method for complex model in Form mode.
Thank
Travis
As others have noted, there is no tool in Inventor Freeform mode to extract an edge. Exiting Freeform mode, though, you can create a 3D sketch and include edges from the Freeform shape. This is probably not directly doing what you need, but better than nothing, perhaps?
