new user - swept boss tubing help(?)
(OP)
I am still 'learning as I go' with Solidworks 2005 and though I have been able to create tubing in the oval shape I desire on a flat plane, I am unable to figure out how to add a "rocker" to the ends of it. I am just in the beginning stages of SW and I have tried redrawing it using a spine with success of 1/4 of it, but then I am unable to use the mirror tool to replicate it for the remaining 3 corners.
Anyone have some pointers that could turn my current hours of spent time, into progress? I am so far, unable to find the help I desire with tutorials or help menu.
Thanks.

Also, YouTube.com is increasingly receiving posts for video tutorials of various sorts.
Community colleges often have classes available for SW training. Your VAR will, too.

I also thought of the Flex tool, but couldn't remember if it was available in '05.

I found the flex feature and did exactly what I needed, and very easily too! I tried the suggestion from Jeff and had some troubles, but I will be sure to play around with it to learn how to do it properly.
Thanks again for your time and help.
