Sweep By Sketch Problem

I am trying to create a simple sweep by sketch. After selecting my 3D lines for the path and checking the green check mark, I get the expected cross hairs and red dot, see below. My problem is that when I then select 'Select Profile' and then 'Edit Profile', the crosshairs and red dot disappear, and the 'Sketch Path' option is grayed out. Note that this process works fine in another file. Any ideas on how to fix this please?

How did you define the path  the first time? using pick path and selected edges or a 3D or sketched them? If you used Pick path...the sketch path will be disabled. that is a normal behavior

 

Why the cross hair disappears...normally it shouldn't when you Edit profile...try to Show Work Plane... see if it shows up again
