Problems With Swept Boss/Base

Unread post by Ballfreak10 »

Hi all,

In the attached file, I'm looking to create a swept feature using "SKETCH Path" as the Path, and "SKETCH Ac" as the Profile. However, when I try to do so, I get the below error message. Anyone know what's wrong here? Surely it mustn't require a closed contour for the Path sketch - that wouldn't make any sense.

All help is appreciated :)!

Thanks in advance,

It's not working because you have your profile sketch in the box for the path, and nothing selected for the profile.

If you select the proper sketches in the proper boxes it works just fine.

By the way, I'd strongly suggest you get in the habit of fully defining your sketches. If you don't I can just about guarantee it will bite you in the butt at some point.
