Edit a sweep

Cowski — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 02:17:39 GMT

I created this project about 9 months ago and really haven't worked on it since. I'm back to it and I was hoping to be able to edit the blue section of my "handle" to be able to increase/decrease the size of it by a few millimeters. Right now that blue section measures 75.563mm. I may want to make it 78.250mm or 72.380mm. (for example. Those measurements will vary.) How would I go about in doing that?

Bottle Holder issue

I tried to follow some of the tutorials to go back and edit the sweep but as you can see I have several errors in my timeline I really didn't pay mind to. They don't seem to be an issue unless I want to go back and edit them...which I do. lol

I apologize if I'm not posting correctly or offering the right information. Correct me and I'll make the proper changes.

Thank you for your time.

@Cowski, it's a bit hard to say without the model itself, but I can show you on an example model. The basic idea is: The path for the sweep will exist on a sketch somewhere - you need to edit that sketch, apply a sketch dimension to that section of the path, then edit that dimension to the desired value. Hopefully, the screencast below is self-explanatory.

I was on the right track I think. Unfortunately when I roll back the history to the sweep I don't have "Edit sketch" but I do have "Edit feature" and something that catches my eye which is "Review warning". I'm sure it will jump out at you when you are able to see it.

I think I figured out how to attach the model and hope when you see this it will make more sense.

Side note...please excuse the "name" on the bottom of the model. This is a beer bottle holder for my brother-in-law. 🙂

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Thank you for attaching the model. Your suspicion is correct. The warning is shown below, if you choose the "review warning" command:

It's a bit hard to tell for certain, but my best guess is that you might have inadvertently deleted the sketches for this sweep. Unfortunately, there is no way to recover those sketches once they have been deleted.

Given the other errors in this model, you might be better off trying to re-create it.

Sorry not to have a better answer for you.

Nope...you answered my question perfectly. Thank you for your quick reply.

I broke it and I had a feeling I did. You confirmed it.

Back to the virtual drawing board.

Thanks for your time Jeff!!
