Hi Everyone,
I'm new here, and quite new to Solidworks. Just trying to find my way around. It is a little different to my usual software and I get a little frustrated sometimes when I know what I want to do, but can't quite work out how Soldiworks wants me to do it. Going quite well, but I've hit a bit of a brick wall, that I hope some of you old hands can help me through.
I have constructed an assembly from various parts, so far so good. But I want to trim an outer case to the outline of some batteries contained within it. Dead simple trim, just requires a circle to be cut out of a pad standing up on the case. I can easiy create a sketch on the end of the battery, but cannot use it to trim the case. When I try to use the sketch to trim the case it tells me the sketch must be linked to the part I'm working on, and the sketch is linked to the battery, not the case. How should I be approacjing this?
Thanks for any help,
Kevin
