▪ Quilt collector—Collects a quilt from which to remove material.

▪ Value box—Sets a thickness value.

◦ Helix profile collector—Displays the sketched profile of the helix sweep.

▪ Define—Opens Sketcher so you can define an internal sketch.

▪ Unlink—Breaks the association between the feature and the selected sketch, and copies the sketch as an internal sketch.

▪ Edit—Edits the sketch of the helix profile.

◦ Flip next to Start point—Toggles the start point of the helical sweep between the two ends of the helix profile.

◦ Helix axis collector—Displays the axis of revolution of the helix.

▪ Internal CL—Sets a geometry centerline defined in the helix profile sketch to be the axis of revolution for the sweep.

◦ Create helical trajectory curve check box—Creates a curve from the helix trajectory, so that the curve will be available in Creo after the helical sweep is created.

◦ Section orientation—Sets the orientation of the sweep section.

▪ Through helix axis—Orients the section to pass through the helix axis.

▪ Normal to trajectory—Orients the section to be normal to the helical trajectory.

◦ #—Displays a numbered list of pitch points in the table.

◦ Pitch—Displays the pitch value for the selected point.

◦ Location Type—Sets the method by which pitch point placement is determined starting with the third point.

▪ By Value—Sets the point location using a distance value from the start point.

▪ By Reference—Sets the point location using a reference.

▪ By Ratio—Sets the point location using a ratio of the profile length from the helix profile start point.

◦ Location—Sets the point location.

▪ When By Value is selected—Displays a distance value from the start point.

▪ When By Reference is selected—Displays a point, vertex, plane, or surface that determines the pitch point location.

▪ When By Ratio is selected—Displays a ratio of the profile length from the start point.

◦ Add Pitch—Adds a new row in the pitch table and adds a new pitch point.

◦ Capped ends check box—Closes each end of a sweep feature. Available for surface sweeps with a closed section and an open trajectory.

▪ Constant—Maintains a constant section as it sweeps along the trajectory.

▪ Variable—Creates a sweep with a variable section. Uses section relations with the trajpar parameter to make the sketch variable. The sketch regenerates at points along the origin trajectory and updates its shape accordingly.

◦ Add geometry to body—Displayed when geometry is added.

▪ Create new body check box—Creates the feature in a new body.

▪ Body collector

▪ Selects the body to which geometry is added when you add the feature to an existing body.

▪ Shows the name of the new body when you create the feature in a new body.

◦ Cut geometry from body—Displayed when geometry is removed.

▪ All—Cuts geometry from all the bodies that the feature passes through.

▪ Selected—Cuts geometry from the selected bodies.

▪ Body collector—Selects the body from which geometry is removed.

◦ Name box—Sets a name for a sweep.
