Convert to sketch or convert curves??

[progdesign]

Hello all, I'm new to this forum and Solidworks.


I have imported and iges file into Solidworks (lines, arcs, maybe some splines), its a continuous 2D profile. I want to extrude it and create a solid. Do I need to convert it to a sketch first? I have tried many things with no luck.


Please help

The 2D to 3D toolbar has a create sketch option which is probably the best to use to get your sketch.


Also you can make a 2D or 3D sketch and use convert entity tool Icon is a Block with a Blue Thick Edge.
