To Create a Swept Segment
1. Click Model > Shapes.
2. Click the arrow next to Sweep and then click Sweep. The Sweep tab opens.
3. For the first segment in a design, type a value for the thickness or accept the default value. You can set thickness only for the first segment, which sets the thickness for all other segments.
4. Click to create a constant section swept segment or click to create a variable section swept segment.
5. Select a trajectory for the sweep.
6. Click and define a sketch in Sketcher.
7. To set board-specific options, click Options. The Options tab opens. Perform any of the following operations:
◦ Click Add bends on sharp edges to round sharp edges when the sketch includes nontangent geometry. Set the value of the radius and the location for dimensioning the radius.
◦ Click Set driving surface opposite swept surface to flip the driving surface. Use this option when the segment is not a first segment.
◦ Click Merge to model to merge the segment with intersecting segments.
To keep the new segment edges from merging with existing intersecting segments, click Keep merged edges.
