Unspecified error blocking pad

Post by freman »

I constructed a stack if three padded elements then moved the z=0 point to the top surface and proceeded to set out paths. Fine so far.

I then realised that I needed some extra geometry on the last sketch to make a pocket. I found I had to remove the last pad leaving just the sketch. This broke some paths which depended on it, so deleted them too.

I added two circles to the sketch and tried to pad it again. I enter the depth of pad and it pops up a tiny error box with just the word "Error". Nothing in the report view nothing on linux console.

Once again I find my self with an irrecoverable error and the need to start over , yet again.

Can anyone see what is blocking this now?

TIA.

hi frreman,

the logic of the 3 concentric shapes does not work. The logic creates a ring , then comes the rectangular shape...and nothing more to create second solid

Switch the rect shape to helper lines and you can pad the ring shape or add another shape around all 3 to have an boundary for the second solid.

Thanks Harry.

I selected just the four edges of the square and that would not work either. So I've just deleted the circles and pulled a square block as before.

My problem is that I had two circles in earlier iterations of this pattern but I can not remember how I got them.

I thought that I just select the top of the last object, created a sketch and got offered "Flatface" or something similar as a means to attach it.

Now I seem to have found it again but not quite sure what the magic combo of circumstances is.

Anyway , fixed for now , many thanks.
