Re: Can you apply an assembly extrusion to a part?

It will, if you do it properly. That is one of the advantages of Inventor. It can be finicky though. Sometimes it will do this on it's own. Sometimes, it will refuse altogether. My suggestion is that if it is refusing, then use the often overlooked copy and paste feature. Just open the sketch for the extrusion you made, select all of the lines/dimensions/anything and right click to copy. Then, create a sketch in the part that is EXACTLY the same as the one in the assembly. Then, simply paste the stuff you copied earlier. Now all you have to do is add the dimensions to constrain the sketch to the part.(Note: It should already be constrained to itself.)

grsnovi: Just because it is not the "right way" of doing something does not make it the "wrong way", it just makes it a "different way".
