on creating hinge 3 cuts


line 2 asks to convert entities


then in a dialogue box select closed contor - I don't have a dialogue box appearing.


any idea on why I can't find a dialogue box to select a closed contor?





cheers

if you are selecting part of an object on its edges then it just converts the lines, if the lines from the other sketch are appearing on your sketch plane then you are doing fine. if you try to convert something and have a face selected it will ask you if you want to select the closed contour(all the edges) I think, im on a crap Pc with no solidworks so I cant check.. But Im pretty sure. Good luck on that hinge its pretty cool to assemble it in the end. Also try a D&M engineering manual from ebay or amazon.
 
you can also select a closed profile by right clicking on the interior edge of an object withclosed contours and select them that way. best of luck.
