SWEPT PROTRUSION

[17566]

I AM USING VERSION 18 SOLID EDGE, I AM TRYING TO SHOW HYDRAULIC LINES, GOING FROM POINT A TO POINT B. I AM USING SWEPT PROTRUSION BY SWEEPING UP TO 3 AXES. NEED HELP ON HOW TO GET TO WORK. I CAN GET IT TO WORK WITH 2 AXES, NOT A PROBLEM, BUT TRYING TO PUT ON THE 3rd AXES CAN NOT DO????
LET ME KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.

Why not use ExpresRoute?

If you do not have ExpresRoute feature, you can create the Swept Protrusion path by using Keypoint Curve.

Hi,

You need to use 'derived curve'(surfacing toolbar) to combine all your 2D paths into one 3D path (curve) NB: no need to click the 'single curve option' except if you want to fillet sharp corners.

Then hide the sketches and restart the sweep command and select the derived curve as your path.

HTH,

Fred
