Swept Feature
Swept Feature
(OP)
I've created a wavy path made from half circles tangent to each and where all the circles follow a circular pattern. I've created a half circle as the pattern and pierced it to the path. I'm trying to create a sweep (like a wavy bead that runs around a part in a circular fashion), but the feature will only sweep the first single half circle it is pierced to, and not the entire path of tangent half circles. Is there something I need to do to "tie together" the series of half circles that make the path?
Thanks
Thanks

If all of the lines are in the same sketch, then select them all, right-click and choose "Make Path".
That should get you where you need to go. Also, you don't need the pierce constraint for sweeps.
