Next, you need to create holes in the housing that line up with those you
added to the duct. You could simply re-create the sketch, but for the next exer-
cise you'll create a relationship between the two parts to defi ne the location of
the holes:
1. Close the duct and housing fi les if they're still open in Inventor. You
should only have Fan.iam open for this exercise.
2. In the Design window, double-click the housing. This activates the
part so you go from editing an assembly to editing a component. The
Ribbon changes what tabs are available, and the inactive parts on the
screen change in appearance, as shown in Figure 3.33.
3. Zoom into where you can see one of the holes in the duct.
4. Create a sketch on the top fl ange, as previewed in Figure 3.34.
5. When the Sketch tools appear, start the Project Geometry tool. Pick
the bottom of the countersink hole in the duct that you zoomed into.
See Figure 3.35.
FIGURE 3.33 Editing a component in the assembly is a great practice.
