(OP)
I wanted to create a sweep from an arc and paths, the finished CAD neutral file is attached. And the file I created is also attached.


But I am not able to understand why the shape seem to be different. Please suggest some settings in Swept tool or any other method so that I can match it….Thanks a lot.

Try edit the sweep, set the scaling to lateral.

Any suggestion please.
RE: Swept Tool Related to problem...
If i look at the "original file" , it seems that the "blend" face on the top has a constant size along the sweep. This is either an option in that other system, or it indicates that the blend is a separate operation.

If that didn't work, then SDETERS is probably on the right track - the guide more than likely needs to be angled. Maybe Sweep it past the planar surfaces and use Trim Body to cut it down to proper size. Nothing against the full Sweep, I just prefer blending with features rather than putting them in my sections (most of the time). Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Note that this option, the constant choord, can be done using the Aesthetic face blend, you can do the sweep w a sharp edge and then apply a blend separately.
The initial question,.... Why do we do this in the first place ? - This model is hardly something to be produced, Are we comparing NX w Creo ?

When I created the same thing in solidworks it was more easy and used surface sweep the result was good. See the image below describing the Profile, Path and Guide Curves.....
I am new to NX and wanted to know the correct working way in the software and I got help from you experienced people in the past and wanted the same currently.
Thanks for replying my questions.

Check again. Even the untrained eye can see it is not the same result.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?

Thereby the difference on the chord length of the "blend". In the variational sweep , the dimension 0.79 will dictate this all along.
As soon as i remember how to do a Variational Sweep i will upload an example.
