Helical sweep cut, can't dimension

Aug 21, 2003 1 Replies

Hi,



I can't dimension a helical swept cut with anything circular in it.



For example:



Extrude circel to round bar Sketch circle on edge (thread) Construct helix Cut-sweep with helix and sketch



Make drawing Insert view Insert section view, display only surface etc.



I see the thread to dimension and get: "the selected entity could not be converted into line or circular arc"



I tried to make a silhouette edge in the part; Select the cut-sweep feature, split line, silhouette etc.



Anyone?



I use SW2003 SP3.1

Or show the original sketch involved in the sweep, then dimension the sketch entity.
