Select sketch contours and model edges, and apply features to them. This allows you to use a partial sketch to create features.
A tooltip appears when you cannot select a contour because:
- The part has too many edges.
- Edges are created on offset planes.
- Edges are chamfered.
- Edges are filleted.
Contour selection is also restricted as follows:
- When reusing a sketch, you can select only on the original face. If, for example, part of the face has been extruded, the tool does not recognize the new face.
- You can select contours only on the face with the sketch. If, for example, the face with the sketch is cut by a solid object (as shown below), the tool can select the part of the face still visible but does not recognize the solid object.
