square to round with free form swept
square to round with free form swept
(OP)
I've used many modelling programs over the years and have just begun to learn UG NX 2. I am having trouble creating a square to round using swept command with one guide string on center of two sketches. I've already tried the zero tolerance thingy, i'm beginning to lose my patience. This operation should not be this difficult to perform.

Just to explain the problem. If you rotate your square 45 deg. so you get a corner oriented at the starting point of the circle and then choose the arclength parameter you will get what you are looking for.
With the alignment method option set to parameter the software is trying to match the two profiles control points with each other and the square has more than the circle so get that option to work you need to break the circle down to four pieces.
But if you use the arclength option you are matching procentual lengths of the profiles with each other. Note that by rotating the square 45 deg. you align the start point.
Hmmm don“t know if my explaination made it easier or worse
