Re: Inventor Help

How did you cut the peice? if you cut it with Split, then you just move the cutting plane to where you want it and it should update. Especially if you made the holes first. if you did a cut extrution, then you can change the sketch and it will probably update. If you did something different or theses don't work, then you can look at the sketch with the holes and copy the holes after you extend it. Still lacking? then you can do a rectangular array of the holes. select the hole's feature, select rectangular array (should be near the circualar aray and mirror tools) and select a line that goes in the direction that you want. set the number of holes and the distance between them and click OK. Or, if all else fails, you can make the holes manually.

With the assembly, it is probably complaining becuase there was a constraint or other setting. First try the Repair tool and follow the prompt to try and fix it. If not, ou can right click on the offending componate and say Re-Place componate. this will reset the file link and posably fix the problem. Or you could delete the componate and place it again.
