Help Sweeping a profile along a path

Post by bucksauce1985 »

Hello!

I am having difficulty trying to sweep a profile along a circular path. I keep getting the error message "Path must not be a null shape".
The shape is round and I have added a circle with the part bench as a path, just slightly smaller than the diameter of the body, however,
the profile just does not want to sweep in a circular fashion around the permiter.

Must i use another method to create a circular path on the face of the body'?

Your help will be most appreciated.

In PartDesign you usually select the section and invoke the sweep. Then you have to select the Path.

In Part you must not forget to click "Done" before confirming the Sweep dialog.
