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!
