SWEEP-SOLID MODELING

[CADEngr2014]

Hello,

I am using AutoCAD 2013.

Have been trying to apply the sweep command to multiples of structural truss webs.  Every time I select my region to sweep, it is applied but dissappears so can not select it again.  With each sweep, I am prompted to select my region that is getting sweeped.  The software does not appear to remember the shape I am using to sweep.  How can I do multitudes of sweeps with a single region?  Preferably without having to re-select the region each time.  Pressing return or space bar does not appear to work with consecutive sweeps, it still prompts to select the region.

Do you mean the profile gets consumed by the sweep command when it creates the new solid or that the profile dissappears from the viewport and the sweep command fails?  If the answer is the first it would be fairly simple to write your own routine lisp command that would copy the profile and the execute sweep.  Something like:

(defun c:mysweep ( / objs)

(setq objs (ssget))

(command ".copy" objs "" (list 0 0 0) (list 0 0 0))

(command ".sweep" objs "")

)

Hit F1 key often, it shows all the options.

Best way:  Set DELOBJ to 0.

Then you can reuse sweep geometry without jumping through hoops.
