Hi,cox wrote:Pad and Pocket directly from a face.
This can be a huge time-saver, and the workflow is intuitive. It will probably take me some time to relearn this, as the sketch first approach has been etched in my brain.
Simply select a face and choose Pad or Pocket tool.![]()
I get the same messagesMarco_T wrote:"6. Sketch based tools (pad, revolve, ...) now work not only with sketches but also with faces of a feature"
but I don't understand how "revolve tool" works...
Always I get this message "Linked object is not a Sketch or Part2DObject"...
Thanks cox for the fast confirmation. I have tried with edges, line datums as revolve axis...but nothing...Probably is not yet implemented.cox wrote: Wold be nice if this could be looked at by a developer, and I could make a bug report if necessary.
Actually it should work on every face, ellipse, spline etc. It is undependend of type.The ellipse have not yet ben tested, who knows what other geometry they will act upon?

Nice Idea, thankssliptonic wrote:Here's an idea for a use case I'd be very interested to see:
I want to make some molds for a plastic injection molder
I'd like to model the part, establish a parting plane, and then make two solids that mate on that plane.
I'm not so concerned with draft angles at this point as the parts will be very simple but establishing holes for alignment pins in the two parts would be nice.
