NX 5 Sweep Question
NX 5 Sweep Question
(OP)
1)Using a linked sketch as a section for the sweep operator.
2)Using one guide string for direction.
3)Using face as orientation
Sweep is one of the main operators I have been using to create solids for exterior door upper moldings, the 3 steps I take as described above are usually flawless, until today, when I ran the sketch section the sweep didn't reconize sharp corners in section, it gave me a radius as a result. Is there a default setting in the sweep operator that I'm missing? The same section will extrude and give the desired results. Any help would be appreciated!

In your case I suspect that preserve shape may have gotten ticked off in error during a previous attempt to create a sweep.
