Sweep to the wrong direction

[seawind]

Sweep has strange behavior when the profile is not at the starting point of the path and the path does not have anti-clock direction.

Checked it a lot of times and always had the same result.

I still don't know where to open it in Autocad

Open what exactly?

I mean where to select the "swept surface"

You can select it anywhere, then go to properties.

 

What does properties show for the object?

if shit don't line up i usually use the 'reverse' command to make a line go from 'left to right' to 'right to left'.  Usually fixes most of there orientantion errors.

Its usually a matter of where the start and end of a line are.  Haven't seen it used here besides physically changing the object.  Just rotating shouldn't change anything. Using 'mirror' wil.

Perhaps the testers here are willing to try my 'thesis'.  Just run the 'reverse' command on the object (line of any kind) and just try the sweep again.

For a visual aid, you can try to use an linetype that 'shows' in what direction a lines is drawn. But those usually don't work on 3D objects...  in 2D its pretty obvious what the 'reverse' command does when such a linetype is applied.
