Help Sweep with expanding OD circles
Help Sweep with expanding OD circles
(OP)
For the life of me I can't get this to work. What I am trying to do is draw a 3" OD pipe (.065" wall") elbow that gets swedge up to 3.25" OD after the bend. I don't want use a loft as it cannot be dimmensioned correctly enough for the pipe bender.
The problem comes into to play when trying to use a sweep I cannot seem to get it right, as it just produces errors when selecting the guide curves or sweeps to the first point on the guide curve.
I've done some testing using an eclispe and it works fine. The problem only exists when using a circle.
Any help is appreciated.

BTW, the outer arc and line are not tangential.

That was the first thing I tried, but it would not work for me. Using tha89sx's file, does it work for you?

The only way I can make it work is to split the circle where the guide curve connects. Maybe this is a SW2009 regression.
