This is the problem I have with Swept Boss in general. I don't exactly understand what it is that SWX is doing or what it wants. Not only the order in which Sketch Profile and Path Profile are created matters, it seems like the relation within a sketch matters too. For example, if you edit the Sketch Profile, delete the coincident relation with the origin and move it to the right and down, now the Swept Boss works regardless of whichever you choose for the path.
Normally work both.
Your geometry must make problem. But... I have older version SW.
Well, no doubt that the geometry matters too but what i want to know is what are the instructions that SWX follows as it sweeps
well, my main focus is the instructions that SWX follows. Why it works in some cases and not in some other cases. I want the bottom right corner to follow the straight line but SW refused to do so.
It is best to Sketch the guide curve and path first, then the profile. In your profile sketch do not over constrain so that it can twist as it is swept. You have horizontal, vertical relations on the rectangle. Finally add pierce point relations between rectangle vertexes and the path and guide curve.
Also it is best to make the path the simplest curve like you wanted but could not do.
that's right. Drawing the path/guide curve first will make things a lot easier. After playing around of the relations, the horizontal and the vertical relation indeed are the reasons why swept didn't work. This is exactly what it is that SWX is doing in the background that I want to know. I'm pretty sure there are more than just relations that I still haven't encountered but until then, i'm happy it has cleared up some of my confusions. Thanks.
