Workflow/Feature for extruding wrapped curves, with new, add/remove to/from a part options?

David_Bone

I am trying to find a more efficient workflow for adding/removing wrapped curves from a part.  This is for creating cam slots, holes, protrusions, logos and other features in parts.  I just finished a part that required 46 features to complete only the wrapped features.
Currently I do the following...

1. Wrap the sketch geometry to the surface using the Sketch Wrapper FS.
2. Fill the resulting curves with a surface.
3. Thicken the resulting surfaces with the Remove option.

This is not too bad when there are only a couple of features and none of them are concentric, but is very cumbersome with multiple curves and/or concentric geometry.

• Many curves requires running the Fill feature on each curve separately or you get a "Cannot create fill surface between multiple loops" error.
• Concentric curves requires creating individual thickened curves as tools, boolean subtracting the inner parts from the outer, then subtracting the resulting outer from the target part.

Just hoping to find a more efficient workflow for wrapping and extruding an entire sketch, preferably in a single feature.   This is something that was simple in SW.

What about sweeping a surface (a horizontal line with the midpoint coincident with the wrapped sketch) then using that to split the surface you wrapped on to, then thicken? If you share a link I can show you.

in the recent update (v18) of Sketch wrapper the option to split face was added. Wrapped curves should fully lie on the face they are wrapped around. If not - new Split by curve feature was added to Sketch wrapping document.
