Combining two sketches?

Dear group,

I normally use Catia V5 for mechanical design, but in this case I need
to use SolidWorks. In Catia there is a function named Combine that can
be used to make a solid from two different sketches (i.e. sketch from
the front and one form the top). Is there something similar in
SolidWorks?


Regards,

Kasper

Look up "combine" in the help. You will need to extrude both sketches
but that is the only extra step

Kasper,

Have a look at the "2D to 3D Conversion Overview" within SolidWorks
Help. It will explain how entities from separate orthographic views
(front, top and side, etc.) can be taken from imported DXF drawings,
for example and used to quickly create solid features in the manner I
think you are searching for...
