     This task shows you how to place 
     cutouts in the two plates just created. You will first sketch the cutout contour. You can do so in a new geometrical set of the Part containing construction geometry.  | 
   ||
| 
      | 
     1. | Activate the Part containing the construction geometry to switch to the Wireframe and Surface Design workbench, and insert a new geometrical set (Insert -> Geometrical set). | |
| 
      | 
     Don't forget to work without links when creating construction geometry. | ||
| 2. | Click the Sketcher icon, then 
     select the plane in which you want to sketch the contour. The Sketcher workbench opens.  |

   |
| 3. | Using Sketcher tools, sketch the contour. | ||
| 4. | Double-click the root product to return to the Structure Design workbench. | ||
| 5. | Click the Cutout
      The Cutout dialog box opens.  |

   |
| 6. | Select the two plates in which you want to place cutouts. | ||
| 7. | Click the Contour 
     field and select the contour you sketched, then a grid line in the Y 
     direction to define the angle of the cutout. Note: When you make a multi-selection of plates, the After Forming cutting mode only is available.  | 
   ||
| 8. | Click OK 
     in the Cutout dialog box to place the cutout. Cutouts are visible in the geometry area.  |
