There are a few ways to do this, but one option is to create the main shape as a surface, and then project various curves that define the openings and make surface cuts. Once done, thicken the surface to make your part.

You can also add a point to end the Round transition.

I looked at your file, and the selected surface you picked in the FROM TO will not allow you to make the cut. This surface is not flat, so it will fail.
You always need to select flat surfaces since this is where the sketch is build on.

Generally its not a "fast" or instantaneous process. Just like the first time you select to make a new Reference Plane, the menu takes about 3-10 seconds to appear.
So it is normal, unfortunately. I have seen this with 2014 and 2016.

You can also save a Template part/assembly that has the required view orientations already saved.

Hello;
Make a curve and add a point on that curve. Then pattern the points along the curve. Create the triangle referencing the first point, making sure to use a tangent or perpendicular sketch entity to properly align the triangle along the curve. Now make a reference pattern of the triangles...
Hello;
I am looking at what is ideal for finishing spring steel to have:
1) Bright, polished-like finish
2) Black, dull finish
I am thinking nickel plated, and black phosphate or black oxide.
Application is for a belt clip, with outdoor use.
I look forward to your assistance.

Hello all;
I am developing a life raft light that needs SOLAS approvals. Does anyone have experience with approval agencies that provide SOLAS certifications? I am located in Canada, but don't mind using agencies from elsewhere. Thanks,

We are developing a beacon/emergency light that has a 3.5" wire passing through a PC/ABS plastic shell. The unit needs to be water-tight.
We are currently using a 2-part potting material (don't have the spec in front of me) but it leaks through all the small cavities around the wire body, so...
You can do a few things;
1) Make a surface on the model and apply a color or decal to that surface. Then place the surface on a Layer and Blank. This will not affect machining.
2) Make an assembly of the part and apply all features, like cuts or surfaces and colors in the assembly level. Just...
As far as I know, you cannot form over a form because the assembly surface is not flat anymore. You can change the original form to have a new rib or channel across it, then really it as one form. This you can do.
