i want to make a plan tangent to item at atached file

how i do this?

tank you

And as with all things Creo, another method is to have a divided arc on the sweep sketch. Run the sweep on the outside of the sweep profile. In this case, the plane is at the vertex of the sketch arc.

This should be possible with a parallel plane (to one of the base datums) which has tangent as the second condition.

it is made: 2 points from both end, real value > axis >plane

That's more fun, Jack I wasn't thinking dynamic...

You will need to make some additional geometry to create that plane.

This example shows a geometry point offset from the sweep profile. You can use relations to manage the dimensions between the sweep profile sketch and the feature section.
