Hi,

I'm trying to connect 2 similar sketches but top one is scaled down. I tried variational sweep but and sweep along guide but both show the error. Attached image for further clarification.

First off, I would strongly recommend you expand your dialogs so that you see all options in them (3 triangles above the OK Apply & Cancel buttons). Next, I would use other commands that would be more appropriate given how you've set up your Sketches. Try either Through Curves (change Alignment to By Points or other choice to control twisting) or try Swept.

You must use the ADD NEWS SET button between selecting each set of curves.

Read the bottom of your screen carefully as it will guide you quite well.
I would also suggest that you use more than 1 guide curve to give you more predictable results.
