Part Features

[Brant Bowen]

In an assembly you can creat a sketch on a side and project a view onto this side from another part. This sketch stays only in the assembly file and does not edit the part. Is there a way to tell Inventor to create this sketch/extrusion on the part file itself?

Thanks,

Yes. Just make sure that you've right-clicked on the part name in the tree listing and chosen to edit the part. You'll know that you've done this successfully because the remaining parts in your assembly will become semi-transparent. You can still project geometry onto your sketches, though.
