Copying A Swept Composite Curve 1

[quest4k]

Good after noon. I have a link of jack chain, which was made by sweeping a wire diameter on a composite curve. It kind of looks like a figure-8. I would love to create 10 more of these links, but nothing is working right for me and I keep getting nothing. I just need to be able to move these links around. Thanks very much for any help on this one.

Have you tried making an assembly ?

If you are looking to pattern the part... You might try toggling geometry pattern on and off to see if the pattern propagates correctly.

Why copy the curve when you can copy the body?

I created it as an assembly now it is working alright. thanks.

If you sweep a line along your comp curve you can pattern or mirror the surface body and extract the edge off the body it's the only way a curve or sketch can be patterned with SolidWorks.

Thanks for the response and yes I did try that, but it kept erroring some about geometry error that it could not figure out. That is why I did it as an assembly.
