Sweep along guide problem with ""3D guides"" it cant generate correct result !!!

(OP)
God job NX...
NX cant create correct result by "Sweep along guide" command.
when guide comes into 3D (like helix) NX create strange shapes. this is wonderfully bad
but in 2d guides it works well.
i test "swept" but not sure about accuracy and its working in all conditions or when helix is along spine.
is any better solution?

RE: Sweep along guide problem with ""3D guides"" it cant generate correct result !!!

For the model that you're creating, 'Sweep Along a Guide' would not be recommended since you need some additional control as you move along a 3D path. That is what 'Swept' was designed for as it offers several different schemes to control the relationship/orientation of the profile to 3D path relative to secondary objects.
