Inventor 2020 2d and 3d equation curves help needed

[Anonymous]

I am just starting to learn Inventor and I am going through the tutorials. I am doing the 2d and 3d equation curves, and I made it through the first 3 tasks perfectly fine. But on task 4 when I get down to step 10, it says to select the path and guide rail sweep type.

That is a bit of  problem. I don't know if Autodesk changed up the menus only, or changed the functionality of the sweep command, but I cant find a type drop down arrow for "type". From what I can tell the tutorial was created using Inventor 2017. In 2020 the sweep command shows Input Geometry, Behavior, and Output. I don't see anywhere to select Path & Guide Rail.

Any help in figuring out how to use the new layouts and functionality would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi! Based on the 2020 screenshot you provided, you already selected the guide rail (see the arrow below Orientation: Guide)? It shows one guide rails is selected. Is this not what you saw?

Many thanks!
