Convert an extruded cut to an extruded boss/base

[CU001]

Hi, I have an intricate cut that I intend to convert to an extruded boss/base. Is there a way to do this in SW2011?

Thanks.

Do you mean creating a form tool from the cut? What's your intent?

SW Premium 2011

Why not just reuse the sketch?

TheTick is correct, reuse the sketch, or create a new sketch and use convert entities if that works for you.

You can also just drag the feature direction arrow in the opposite direction if you have instant 3D enabled. However, I would just reuse the sketch.

You can save the sketch out as a block and use it in another position or save it in the design library etc.
