Sweep with two "points"
Sweep with two "points"
(OP)
I'm new to solid works and I'm trying to creat a sweep with a profile (circle), a path (spline) a a guide curve (spline).
The two spline intesect with it othe making two points, so I can't create the circle at the end of the spline.
I tried to create the circle around the midle of the curve but the sweep only take one direction.
What I need to do to have the sweep go both ways?

@gwubs: How do you derive a sketch?

Derived sketches cannot be edited other than to select a different sketch plane and orientation for sketch. To help place the Derived sketch it helps to put additional centerlines to use to place derived sketch with relations.
You can also use the Selection Manager to change the extents of the selected path or guide. After selecting the Reference sketch you'll see Grey dots at endpoints of curve that can be dragged back to set the direction as shown in attached pictures.
A better way to split the Spline curve into two directions would be to use convert entities in a new sketch and then the Split icon in sketch to divide the curve in to two portions which can be selected using the select group option of Selection Manager.
