I am performing a solid sweep (cut) that uses a solid body and a composite guide curve.  My solid body is concave, thus I cannot perform the sweep in one command (SW requires a non-concave revolved solid body for the tool body).  So, I need to split the solid body into two seperate bodies and sweep them along the same curve.

The problem is:  when I go to peform the 2nd sweep I cannot select the composite curve because it is already owned by the first sweep.  Is there anyway around this?  Do I need to start from scratch and create an identical guide curve?

Also FYI, the guide curve does begin at a point on both tool body profiles.  So, the path is valid for both sweeps.

Thanks!
