Now you can complete the main features of the part.
Creating Sweep Features
In this exercise, you'll create two features. The first will establish the outer por-
tion and will be hollow. The second will cut through the top and bottom plates.
1. Make certain that the 2013 Essentials project file is active, and then
open c03-10.ipt from the Parts\Chapter​3 folder.
2. Start the Sweep tool from the Create panel on the 3D Model tab.
Adding the circles to Sketch1 has made it a multiloop sketch, so
there is more than one option; the button for profile selection in the
dialog box will have a red arrow. This means Inventor needs you to
make a selection.
