Please help with library feature parts

    Hello all,

    I'm new to Solid Works 2008, and now I have some trouble creating a Library
    Feature part. I've created path's for the profile to follow and have tried
    to create a new weldment profile, but when I insert it, I get a
    message/warning that the Feature part is empty. I don't know what I'm doing
    wrong, as I have created another profile that inserts correctly (only one,
    though) ...

    Oh, and yes, I _did_ select the 'Sketch1' feature in the Feature Manager
    before the "Save as".

    I hope I'm clear, but English is not my native language, so please bear with
    me ...

    Can anyone please help me? Thanks very much in advance,

    Rob

    Rob,

    Looks like you are not following the right way. Can you upload your
    part to have a look and suggest you the best solution.

    Thanks very much, but the problem is solved: I imported a sketch from
    AutoCad and that didn't seem to work. I sketched the contour in SW directly
    and now I can use it as a Lib Feat Part.

    Thanks again for the help,

    Rob
