Lock Sweep Path

[PhilvK]

I have a simple circular sweep and want to lock the end of the path line to a reference plane and can't do it when the line is black jut prior to selecting the path, or when the line is magenta after selecting it. I can't also can't tab into an end point that I can then align to the reference plane. Is there a way?

Did you pick an edge to create path or did you sketch the path.  If you want to lock to refernce planes, use the latter.  

1. Host the path on a workplane 
2. Then lick its ends to lateral/vertical ref planes

The pick path using 3D auto locks itself to the edges of the 3D element you pick (length wise and workplane/face wise

I got it to work by using model lines for the path instead of reference lines, and locked the end of the model line to a reference plane. I was previously trying to use reference lines for the path which weren't working. I think that's the same as what you're response was saying, thanks.

Yes Model lines are similar to the edge of any model element

Thanks again. 

I created a parameter for the diameter of the circle I am using for the sweep profile. How do I assign the circle diameter to that parameter in the family that the sweep is a part of?
