Position Sweep Section sketch

[AS_13274512]

Hi,

I need to create a simple sweep and don't understand if the section of the sweep has to be created obligatorily inside the command.

Can't I create the sketch of the section outside the sweep command and select it inside afterward?

i'm using Creo 8

I think the sketch has to be within the sweep feature. Kind of like a packaged unit comprised of the sketch and the selected trajectory. From what I can see and a bit of a trial, it seems you can define the sketch by itself, but it needs to be positioned in a plane parallel to the plane at the start of your trajectory. You can then use the edges of that sketch to define the swept sketch.
