A trajectory for Insert -> Sweep needs a section XY orientation reference which doesn't exist as the curve is not associated with a datum plane, surface, solid face, etc. There are several ways you could get to where you want to be. Project your existing curve to the cylindrical surface...

I believe there is / was a config statement graphics win32_gdi that forced software emulation of graphics functions(?). May be worth a try (or search your install & admin guide for the term to see if it's still applicable). -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

Ok. Without AAX I believe the 'in assy context' relationship is all that's going to be available to you. (I don't have AAX either and am not sure it would offer anything in this specific context.) There are various ways / strategies you ~could~ use including your first attempt. The way...

I believe the answer(s), which I can't help you with, will be dependent on whether, or not, you have AAX. Just as a curiosity; why do you want to circumvent the typical top down design reference created in the context of an assembly? -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

The dimension is associated with the thread diameter. You should be able to show the associated hole note which will (unless your *.hol file's been modified) list the tap drill size. -Jeff Howard (wf2) Sure it's true. I saw it on the internet.

Can you post the neutral translation that went into the Import Feature? If it was an IGES I suspect there may be some clues in it that don't show up in the picture (maybe not even in the Pro/E import). At any rate, the missing faces were most likely larger swept or revolved 'slab' faces...
