Hello, I need some suggestions. I want to reshape plate A to match the curvature of object B. In particular, I want to cut the corner of plate A based on the filleted curvature of Part B. Also, I want to extend plate A so that it covers the top of Part B. Any suggestion appreciated. Thanks.
Are you going to want them merged in the end? If so then my approach would be to save it as a single part first. Then I'd start a sketch on the top of B and convert the outline of B, then make an extruded cut (and check flip side to cut) to trim away the outside of A. Next I'd combine the 2 bodies into one and start another sketch on top of B, and convert the area where you drew the "B" and extrude up to the surface marked "A".
In the end, I want to use screws to combine them. I want to make the corner-filleted, extended Part A first.
Peter,
Most of Jamil's suggestion is still valid - just not the "save as a single part" step.
Add a boss to A that is an over-sized rectangle, covering all of B, then convert the edges of B in a sketch in A to cut away the excess material in A. Even in an assembly, you can convert the edges of a different part.
Posting the models will allow you to see the solution because myself or someone else will do it and re-post the solution...

This icon in sketcher makes a copy of existing edges in your sketch.
I imported both Parts A and B into a new assembly. After the reshaping of A, I want to save it as an individual file.
