Boss Sweep-on radius path
Boss Sweep-on radius path
(OP)
I am trying to figure out how to sweep on a radius. The path does not take up the whole circle (which is where the path is derived from, after making an offset of 0.000). This was never a problem for me on AutoDesk Inventor. I am able to do it but goes in a straight line and does not seem to utilize the radius.
Thanks,
Alan

Remember, SolidWorks is not Inventor is not ACAD is not SolidEdge. Each has there own way of accomplishing things.

What does this mean?
I use both SolidWorks and Inventor daily - I don't understand why sweep would be any different?
Attach your Inventor and your SolidWorks file here.

Sounds like you are using the Extrude tool instead of the Sweep tool. The Sweep won't sweep if it isn't given a path to follow.

Post the part instead.

Use the Revolve tool instead. Select the Temp Axis of the part and extrude through X° or Up to Surface (Plane 5)

The Sweep worked fine for me using Sketch6 as the profile and Sketch3 for the path.
