Sweeping on a Helical Path

[Anonymous]

Hi AutoCADders,

There is a constant problem that I always encounter when I try to sweep on a helical path when creating threads. Everytime I try to do so, I keep on getting error such as "unable to sweep, something to do with profile curve". Is there a way that I can do it without getting this error at all ever again?

Thanks.

I could not find a proper profile in your file, but there were so many distractors (geometry not relevant to the problem description) that I might have gotten lost in the search.

Try the instructions in the link above.

If you still can't get it to work - attach a file with only your cylinder, helical path and thread profile in the file.
