Hi everyone,
Today morning i was working in solidworks this idea came in my mind that can we switch the Skect, Here you see that Sketch5 is after the Openings and i wnat to replace Sketch4 with Sketch5 ,i mean i dont want to make another cut extrude, if you have any idea please share with me.
No you can not replace the sketch. So either you can delete and recreate the feature OR edit sketch 4 and create the additional/new entities as in sketch 5.
There is an option can replace entity which you can use within a sketch to keep the child relation intact.
Thanks Deepka ji, Can you please give an example.
Hi Lomish,
do you mean for example, that sketch4 is square and sketch5 is circle and by switching those sketches you'll change openning shape (or extrude I suppose) from square to circle??
But I think, not 100% sure, that you can't switch them or at least I'm not aware of the option how to do that..
If you need to change the shape of openning, just make two extrudes (opennings) using one common sketch and suppress one extrude..

Hi Lomish,
I'm not really sure what your objective is here. You say you don't want to make another cut extrude. What do you want to do with sketch 5?
If all you're trying to do is replace the shape of the extrude from sketch 4 to sketch 5, just delete or suppress the existing cut extrude and do another using sketch 5.
I don't think there is any way to replace sketch 4 with sketch 5 without deleting or suppressing the existing Cut extrude.

You could also copy the entities in sketch5 and then edit sketch4 and place the copied entities in sketch4 and either delete the unwanted sketch4 entities or make them construction.

thanks all but i puprpose was just switch the sketch not edit or modify or supress.
Looking at this and the replies I have to ask the obvious question (to me). As the cut is at the end of the tree, what is the issue with deleting it and redoing it with Sketch5? Alternatively, create a configuration of the part, suppress the existing cut extrude, create a new configuration and create a new cut using Sketch5?
As we say, there is more than one way to skin a cat - but it really helps to understand the design intent to advise on the best method.
Hi Lomish
You cant switch the sketch but you can edit it..
so if you really wanted to you could reorder sketch5 above sketch4, then edit sketch4 delete everything in it and then select sketch5 and hit convert entitiies
