Use a Composite Curve Twice
Use a Composite Curve Twice
(OP)
Good after noon, I have a scetch when a line, a tangent ark and another line and then I turned it into a composite curve. I place a plane at the end of the line and I swept extruded the composite curve. Now about half down each line I placed a plane and at one end I inseerted a hex on the plane and then I tried and failed to swept cut between the planes with the hex. This is simply two round larger ends with a smaller hex mid-section. Is the a way to use the same composite curve twice? Now it is telling me that the composite curve is owned by another feature and it won't let me use the original scetch to generate and composite curve. Tahnk you in advance for any assistance.

Sorry about that. The reason I did it this way is because the radiuses of the hex are to be the same as the diameter. I am making any sense with that statement? Thanks again.

However, the quick/best way to achieve this is to simply sweep your hex form as the initial solid (instead of sweeping a round form for the elbow, and then shaping it with a hex profile).

What do you really want this part to look like, specifically? Have you done a quick sketch of the part in perspective/isometric to see what you need?

Can you have the radius of the outer points (instead of the inner flat radius) of the hex match the radius of the round?

Theo ... quest4Ks file was SW06 so he probably will not be able to open yours.
