offset a curve in a sketch
offset a curve in a sketch
(OP)
I located the offset a curve function in sketcher mode but unsure how or if I can offset a curve that is a previous sketch. Im modeling a rod from a piston and rod assembly. I want to core out the rod shaft using surfaces by extruding or sweeping to a curve. I have one curve feature on each side with two separate sketches. Now in a new sketch I want to generate a path for a sweep.
BTW I appreciate all the activity on this forum.

As for your original question, try projecting the curves from the other Sketches into your new Sketch and then create your Offset Curves.
