Step 2Create Sketch Profile for Extrude Cut
Defined your sketch profile of your desired shape. Constrain and dimension the sketch as you would when creating a Sketch Catalog Feature. Remember that equations will be translated to straight values when the Catalog Feature is inserted into a Part.
Name the Extrude Cut Feature with a descriptive name, as it is this feature name that will be used for the name of the Catalog Feature and not the filename when it is inserted into a Part.
Extrude Cut from the Sketch using the Through All or Distance options, as the To Geometry and Next options will not be valid when used with a Catalog Feature.
We have found that it is worthwhile to mirror cutter profiles, as the opposite hand orientation is often required to properly create a feature from the sketch. Take this into consideration when creating a sketch for a Catalog Feature, and possibly mirror your sketch.
When creating cutter profiles, it is handy to properly locate and define the axis of rotation so that it can be used to mirror the profile.
