Sweep along guide
Sweep along guide
(OP)
I am trying to sweep a sketch around a guide that is circular, but has a "bump" in it. The bump is a segment of a larger circle concentric with the first that has two tangent curves attaching it to the smaller circle. When I select these curves as the guide NX give me some convoluted pretzel shape as the result.

That being said, try creating an offset curve of your original path and use this as a second guide curve.

John, I wonder if offsetting a second guide curve will produce the same result as what mmauldin said even if the secion is not at the end of one of the guiding curves? I will have to test this
