Cutting objects

Hi all,


I have an extruded circle 50mm deep. I am trying to cut through the extrusion to leave sections. I am using the 'extruded cut' function hwoever I am having dificulties. 1 - once i extrude eveything else disappears. is there a way to cut the object but keep the remaining pieces? if not then... 2 - I cut the first section. afterwards i use the same extruded circle to cut the next piece along. however only the first section is left. any ideas??





i can post the sldwrk file if required.





cheers
 
njsavage,


check that when you make the extruded cut the 'multi-bodies' tick box is correctly set to allow SW to create multi-bodies within the one part. I'm pretty sure if it isn't selected correctly, then only one part will remain as you have mentioned.


I don't have access to SW in work which is where I am now so let me know if you have any luck and I can check later.

Thanskf or the advice.


I couldnt find the multibody featuer but found the slipt function. using the cutting sketch i was able to cut the sections. individual files were created for them. This is a good way to work as I may need to make changes (such as chamfer properties) which need to be applicable to all bodies.





If you think of anything else let me know





cheers
