A sweep is a base, boss, or cut created by moving a section along a path. In this part of the tutorial, you create the candlestick handle by using a sweep. First, you sketch the sweep path.
The path can be an open curve, or a closed, non-intersecting curve. Neither the path nor the resulting sweep can be self-intersecting.
Select the Front plane in the FeatureManager design tree, then click Sketch on the Sketch toolbar to open a new sketch.
Click Front on the Standard Views toolbar.
Click Hidden Lines Removed on the View toolbar.
Click View > Hide/Show > Temporary Axes.
Notice that the temporary axis of the revolved base appears.
Right-click in the graphics area and select Line, then move the pointer over the temporary axis.
The pointer changes to indicating that the pointer is exactly on the temporary axis.
Sketch a horizontal line as shown, and dimension the line to 60.
Save the part as Cstick.sldprt.
