How to make a sweep of a line around the line?
(OP)
I have question to you. And your help would be highly appreciated. I'm not so advance in modeling. I have used SolidWorks some time back and this kind of sweeping was easy to made, but when I'm trying to do it in NX - I'm stuck.
What I want to do is sweeping a line around the line to acheive a surface that I can use for spiral route for my another sweep geometry. I have a shaft, irregular shape, and I want to cut a groove around the shaft, but to do that - I need a guide curve.
I need an example how to do the sweeping.
I'm using NX 7.5.3

Neither. More like this. Look how the worm gear is modeling in SolidWorks. I need to use the same way.

Thanks, but this is no exactly what I wanted to do. I want to create a swept surface in the form of a helical shape and then extract the cross edge, which will be used for another sweeping operation.
An L shape, where shorter arm will be rotated about the longer line. Just like on youtube movie.

I think you can figure out the rest of the model?

Perfect. I knew it, that this was somewhere in there. Many, many thanks, Michael. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Many, many thanks
