Sweep Error: Cannot get a point on the path to start with
(OP)
I keep getting this error when trying to create a sweep. “Cannot get a point on the path to start with. For an open path, the path must intersect with the section plane.” I cannot figure it out; I have a sketch that I will use as the path. I make a plane “Normal to a curve” and sketch the profile on it. Then, I try to sweep and get his error. Sometimes, if I repeat the process at the other end of the path, it will work. Sometimes not. Any thoughts?

Now copy the sketch from the feature tree and paste it onto the new plane.
P.S.
I know that technically a line is not the same as an arc, but I didn't want to confuse you by calling it an entity.

The pierce will not work because they don’t touch. Can you set it to zero?

Long way around...
Extend your guide curve past where you need it to start. Add a point coincident with that curve to mark your start and create your plane through that.
I'm guessing a bit, as I am still on 07 and can't open your file.
