Rosette & base 2D shape - I cannot find my way into making the outline shape

jean_marie_almeras

I am trying to define a 2D shape to provide as a DXF file to a metal cutting company. Basically, it is a rosette with a base. I have designed the most part of it in a Part Studio as shown below. I just need the exterior shape of the whole, which includes the rectangle at the bottom, the curved part between the two Bezier curves, then the rosette itself (the circles will not show completely as is seen here, only the exterior outline). I do not know how to proceed, and in particular how to make a shape item out of the part between the rectangle, the rosette and the two Bezier curves on each side (the part which shows in white, because for OnShape there is no matter there). If anyone can help me out, I will be very grateful ! Thank you in advance

Hey Jean-Marie,

They white space in your sketch indicates that there is some non-enclosed geometry. Would be best if you could share your document so we could have a look at your sketch. Thanks

Thank you David, here is the link https://cad.onshape.com/documents/a06310eeacbcc2c2e608e83c/w/2c0bb54fbf9ee7173348fd67/e/25f6661cbc59683e8b2c391b

I this what your looking for? There are some duplicates in the outer circles of the original. One of the splines was not connected as David noted. Used a circular array to make the outer circles instead of individually drawn. The spline is mirrored instead of redrawn.

Yes, most of the time when this happens it is because some sketch geometries are not connected/closed.

Open sketch points is a good feature script to help identify where sketches are not connected/open.

You may find the Trim tool useful in eliminating sketch elements to make your sketch outline only. - Scotty
