How to rotate one sketch into another sketch
How to rotate one sketch into another sketch
(OP)
I have two different sketches next to each other in the same plane (see attached .prt file). I'm trying to rotate SKETCH1 along an arc path 180 degress. And as it travels along that path have it gradually transformed into SKETCH2. Essentially, I want it to be like the solid in that file but rotated instead. I'm somewhat new to UG and so I'm not sure what to do. Thank you for any help or pointers.

It is NX7.5. If you need an earlier version, let me know.

- layer 2 uses N-sided surfaces
- layer 3 uses through curve mesh surfaces, with additional cross curves derived from your existing solid
There are probably other ways to attack it, but the problem area will be on the upper and lower surfaces near the axis of rotation. These 2 solids pass geometry checks, but are by no means pretty (in any sense).RE: How to rotate one sketch into another sketch

In the second model I modified the two profile sketches to add a small gap surrounding this 'axis of rotation' and then creating a small 'filler' body so as to complete the model. Anyway, I've attached both models (in the attached zip file) so take a look and if you have any questions, just ask.

Mmauldin, when I opened the second part you uploaded for some reason it looked exactly like what I uploaded, I'm not sure what happened.
Thanks again everyone for your help!
