Combine Feature

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Dennis Deacon, Sep 16, 2006.

  1. I am trying to duplicate a complex imported part (IGES) by using the
    combine/subtract feature. The help file makes this look very easy but I
    cannot get this party started. If I completely isolate the second body from
    the first, the combine command is available. As soon as I put them together
    as pictured in the help file, the combine feature is greyed out.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    If you are extruding a block as the second body, you need to turn off
    the Merge option in the extrude feature.

    Maybe it is good for native features only???

    A few tests would tell.
