3D CAD - Modeling Basic Mechanical Components #1 - Tie-Wrap Clip

Step 20 3D CAD - Trimming the Projected Lines & Cutting Through.

-
Select Trim Figure from the Sketching toolbar, and trim away the outside portion of the lines.

Re-select Shaded now instead of Wireframe. The created lines are now easily visible, and can be used to create the extrude cut for the tie-wrap pass through portion of the clip.

Click Extrude Cut, Select Type  Through All, and Click OK.

If you get error message:
"Error: Self intersecting lines", click OK.
Typically errors like this are from overlapping lines.

Edit the sketch, and select each line, click Delete, unless you find you deleted the only line. If that happened, Click Undo (Ctrl+Z). Continue to the next line, delete again.

Before leaving Sketch mode this time  use the Sketch Analysis tool, from the Sketch Menu.

If you find errors remaining that cant be healed (the heal button is greyed out), (like overlapping lines) then just select them and delete them.

Then exit sketch mode by toggling the Activate 2D Sketch icon (click it!).
