About the Swept Blend Tool
You can use the Swept Blend tool to create a board segment or a surface with swept blend geometry. When a swept blend segment is not the first segment, use the tool to create a solid cut. You create swept blend geometry by sketching a single trajectory and multiple sections that are blended at specified segment vertices or at datum points on the trajectory. You can orient a section by specifying the rotation angle about the z-axis.
You can redefine a swept blend segment as a surface, or redefine a swept blend surface as a segment, if the segment is not the first one in a design. You must specify thickness for a first segment.
Additional options specific to board segments are available for the Swept Blend tool. For more information on the Swept Blend tool, search the Help Center.
