Sketcher broken face

[DickHutchings]

I've made some progress on this thanks to all of your input.
1 I want to know how to move 1 body the face of another. The lever to the pocket of the clamp body.
2 Make a hole through the lever and through the body
3 Get rid of the white outline of the body
4 I need to make the other half so I need to make a mirrored reversed body with alignment holes. These 2 pieces will be glued together to make the upper clamp jaw.

1 I want to know how to move 1 body the face of another. The lever to the pocket of the clamp body.

The simplest way is to use the Manipulator workbench. Then you may have to adjust the position with the transform tool.

2 Make a hole through the lever and through the body

Since you are working in Part design, make the hole in the lever (as you've done). Toggle Body to be the active body. Hide the Pad of Body001, unhide sketch Lever. Select the circle and create a subshapbinder. Now Pocket the subshapebinder, with the Pocket set to through all.

3 Get rid of the white outline of the body

The white line is the sketch named Sketch. Select it and use the space bar to toggle it hidden/unhidden.

4 I need to make the other half so I need to make a mirrored reversed body with alignment holes. These 2 pieces will be glued together to make the upper clamp jaw.

Use Part workbench Mirror.

I don't have Manipulator but I managed to move the plane anyway.

I can't get this to work as you described. The make subshapebinder is greyed out.

This worked, thank you

I haven't tried this yet.

Use the Addon manager to add it.

1. in Part design, make the hole in the lever (as you've done)
2. Hide the Pad of Body001, unhide sketch Lever (this is so you can select the circle)
3. Toggle Body to be the active body
4. Select the circle
5. create a subshapbinder
6. Pocket set to through all

Thanx, got that working.
Now I want to rotate the lever using the offset hole as the axis so I can see how far the lower lip will be pushed.

Then you must not constrain the center of the right arc vertical over the pivot. Add a lenth constrant instead and add another one from the end of the arc.

Thanks, that's done. I think it's time for the bottom Jaw.
