Sweep profile editing

[pvn]

Hi guys,

I can't editi the profile of the part I modeled. I want to adjust the radius, but it behaves funny. Plus I can't even delete this line to redraw.

Does it mean I have to redo the part?

Thank you for your help

May be you have a mirror of this feature. If yes then try to delete the mirror feature and then edit the sketch.

No. There's no mirror feature. When I right click on the Sweep 1 - Section 1 it doesn't give me an option to edit definition.

Is that just a specifics of the Sweep in Creo?

It's hard to diagnose the part without access to it.

However, I don't believe you can access the sketch of a sweep (other than editing exiting dim values) directly from the model tree.  Right click on the sweep itself and then click the sketch button on the sweep dashboard to access the sketch.

Doug is right.  In order to edit the sketch of certain feature types, you must edit the definition of the root feature to access the sketch.  Sweep is one of these.

As to deleting exiting elements in sketches, take a look at the RMB-Replace option.  You can replace a line with a new or different line, for example.  The original line will be deleted and the selected line remains.  This also tries to maintain relations throughout your part/asm in a from-to manner wherever possible.

Thank you, guys!

I finally got it. I had a different mindset in this case. Logic of Creo is completely different from what I'm used to. So it's an interesting challenge.

Here is how you edit the sweep sketch.

Edit Definition of the Sweep itself >> hit "create or edit sweep section

My initial logic was that you can edit anything from the Model Tree itself.

You would think you could... and I still do it to this day only to be thwarted by what would be an obvious solution.
