gotchy Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 Hello all, I am in the process of modeling a spring in Solidworks 2008. My question is why should I not have the option to use Swept Boss Base after I exit a sketch? What is the principle involved here. The option is greyed out. Is there something else I must do. I have made this spring many times before and cannot remember having this problem. Thank you in advance, Andrew Gotchofsky Quote
profcad Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Do you have two sketches? One for the path and one for the profile. Quote
gotchy Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 yes I do, and I exited the sketch both times Quote
profcad Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Do you have two separate sketches. The path and profile cannot be in the same sketch. Quote
gotchy Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 I have two separate sketches. After I exit the second sketch, (profile), is when I need the option to select Swept Boss Base, and it is at this point that I do not have the option. Quote
