Match Profile

    I have an extruded part where one edge has a
    complex profile. I want to create a mating part
    to the profile edge (let's call the existing profile
    the male and I want to create the matching female profile).
    I've tried to use the existing part to do an extrude
    cut into the new part, but I can't get this to work.

    -Is it possible to use the profile edge to extrude
    cut into a new part, to get a matching (mating)
    profile?

    -If so, how does one do this?

    -If not, is there a way to get a matching (mating)
    profile on an new part? (Obviously I could redraw
    the same profile, but it's complex and I'm hoping
    to make use of the geometry already created).

    BTW I'm learning SW and I've asked other questions
    in this group, and gotten good responses. I appreciate
    those who take the time to help out!
