Extrude using Offsetted Curve

Extrude using Offsetted Curve

Extrude using Offsetted Curve

(OP)
I have say curve A. I offsetted (associative)curve A to get curve B.
I used this curve B to create solid body by extrusion.
If I edit parameters of offset curve and redefine string (I selected curve C insted of curve A as input curve), curve B is updated.Curve B is now offset to curve C. But the solid body which used curve B is not updated.
Any help?

RE: Extrude using Offsetted Curve

Did you change the feature order so that the extrusion is after the curve B update?

RE: Extrude using Offsetted Curve

(OP)
Extrusion is after the offset curve.
Ideally when offset curve updates, extrusion should update.

RE: Extrude using Offsetted Curve

It updates at my place,
You should have the curve C before Offset.

RE: Extrude using Offsetted Curve

Are any of your curves in sketches? Is there anything that generates curve A and C (ie are they just basic curves you created or are they made with projection, intersection, offset, etc)?

RE: Extrude using Offsetted Curve

I wonder if he has delayed update upon edit toggled on?

Curve A is in  sketch. Curve C is simple spline. May I pl. know how that affects?
I've not toggled  delayed update on.

RE: Extrude using Offsetted Curve

So is curve B also in the sketch or is it outside of the sketch? I'm thinking that your features are linked to the sketch so even when you redefine your string, UG still goes back to the original sketch. You may have to 'unlink' the sketch somehow so that it is no longer a parent of any of the objects you want to use.
