SW05: Can't Copy Sweep Feature?

SW05: Can't Copy Sweep Feature?

SW05: Can't Copy Sweep Feature?

(OP)
For those still lucky enough to be on SW05, have you ever tried to copy a Sweep feature to another face?  It's not working for me.  Looking for tips.

RE: SW05: Can't Copy Sweep Feature?

I will have access to SW05 this Sunday. Can you be more specific or  maybe post an image to show what you are trying to do?

DO you mean copying the Helix starting-circle-sketch?

cheers

RE: SW05: Can't Copy Sweep Feature?

Well I can move a sweep in SW07 but I can't copy one. So I doubt it can be copied in SW05. You should be able to copy the individual sketches though.

cheers

Yup, that's what I had to do, copy the sketch and rotate it.  This was for a steel cable that I had drawn with a 3D Sketch, and it needed eyelets/loops at both ends.

RE: SW05: Can't Copy Sweep Feature?

In SW2007, if you make the cable and loops as multi-bodies, you are able to mirror or pattern the loop body and then use the mates function in the Move/Copy Bodies tool to position it.

Another reason for your company to upgrade? wink

cheers

... or you could create an end loop as a Library Feature and just drop it onto the end(s) of the cable.

cheers
