cables in solidworks
(OP)
Hi !
I would like to ask your help in a problem, I can not solve. I had built together a machine, just to test SolidWorks possibilities weather I can recommend it or not, and I went fine with everything except, that I couldnt find out :
- How can I draw a cable (not electrical one, but a one which used on a fitness machine, steel cable covered with plastic.
Many many thanks for your help in advance,
Moore

Sweep Overview
Sweep creates a base, boss, cut, or surface by moving a profile (section) along a path, according to these rules:
The profile must be closed for a base or boss sweep feature; the profile may be open or closed for a surface sweep feature.
The path may be open or closed.
The path may be a set of sketched curves contained in one sketch, a curve, or a set of model edges.
The start point of the path must lie on the plane of the profile.
Neither the section, the path, nor the resulting solid can be self-intersecting.

how easy to draw with SolidWorks thats stupidly hard to position a peace of tube position with all rolles to look like proper cable...
Many thanks for all the comments !!

Use the help to search for 3D Sketch. This will allow you to create a sweep path in 3D space.
