AFX - Can't place profile on a curve

[TV_8804086]

Hello,

I have a strange issue when trying to place a profile along a curved sketch in AFX. I press "new profile", select the profile I want, and select "assemble profile on a bend curve". I can select a starting and ending curve just fine, but no matter what I do, as long as my selected curves are anything but a straight line, it will not let me select an orientation plane, and it won't auto-select one like it does for straight lines. I cannot figure out why this is happening. Is anyone aware of something I could be doing wrong?

Hi @TV_8804086 ,

have you checked out the dedidcated help chapter about this?

I have read that article and many other similar ones. The problem is that Creo is not behaving as the article describes. It will simply not let me "select a plane on the model that is parallel to the curve" as the articles suggests I should be able to do. Absolutely nothing happens no matter what plane I click, either from the model or from the model tree. I have tried creating a plane using the prompt in the "new profile" menu as well, but this does not work.

Hi @TV_8804086 ,

what version of AFX / Creo are you running? 

The curve you select must be a 2D Curve that is in one sketch. Can you upload a model and a description what you are doing?
