Sweep and trajectory by equitation

Marek60

New member
Hello to everyone,

I created datum curve, by equitation. My WF2 won't recognize this curve
as a valid trajectory and in the another words, won't create sweep
protrusion. I think I am missing something, so kindly I am asking for
help.


Thank you,





Marek
 
Help / Part / Advanced Features / Sweep / About Sweeps:
"As a general rule, the trajectory must have adjacent reference
surfaces or be planar." There be more. Read it. The problem,
if I understand what the Sweep wants, is a lack of XY direction
reference. If the equation driven curve is planar the fix should
be as simple as projecting (Edge -> Use) the curve to a Sketch.
Otherwise look at VSS and see if you can get what you want out
of it.
 
In the Help under Part Modeling>Advanced Features>Sweeps>About Sweeps it gives the creation methods for datum curves that can be used. From equation is not listed as a creation option.
 
Kind regards for all of my responders. Thank you for help. VSS is working this type of 3d curve.
