Sweep Tangent Issues

Anonymous — Sat, 19 Oct 2019 13:59:49 GMT

So, I'm missing something and it maybe very basic but I'm still struggling; I created a specific curve and a specific shape I want to sweep along the curve. When I go sweep the shape, if it's not a 'Tangent' issue it's something else. I can create a square or other shapes and it sweeps as it should, but I cannot for the life of me get this specific shape to sweep. What am I missing? File attached.

Works for me, even with the unconstrained sketches. There are too many white dots in your sketches, I'll presume they are imported sketches.

The Tangent error is likely from perpendicular setting, I have it working with parallel

Might help....

Than you. Generally, I just jump into a sketch with dimensions. This project I have canvases to base my sketches off of and for some reason I'm having a harder time haha. I'll have to clean it up a bit.

Thanks again

Apologies, I would balk at 21 arcs to dimension, too.

Your canvass was blank in the download, but surely the path could have been a Spline?

Is there a reason you're using arcs rather than splines? The surface from all those arcs is pretty ugly.

From splines it's a lot cleaner. I couldn't make out your canvases so just traced your sketch. I've attached my design.

There is something on the canvases but very hard to make out!
