Unable to select a profile for sweeping via a path defined by a 3D sketch.

I created an adaptive spring based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMSeBj-G9rs.

 

I attempted to add a hook to the end of the spring via sweeping a 3D sketch. When I create a sketch on the face of the end of the wire to be swept along the 3D curve, the sketch profile does not appear to be an option for the profile of the sweep.

I have made the end plates invisible in the assembly because I only want to use them to drive the spring length constraint. 

 

I have zipped the files and attached them. I am using Inventor Professional 2020. 

 

Thanks,

 

Steven

Hi! I believe you have completely turned off all 2D Sketch visibility. Go to View -> Object Browser -> check 2D Sketch.

Many thanks!
