Sweep is the transition between two sketches on parallel planes and the same number of sketch elements.
With V10 Sweep is released as a standard function.
In the part EN 10253 for example, the sweep function is used.
In the following you can see an excerpt in PARTdesigner, which exemplifies the usage.
Create a circle in a base sketch.
Create a parallel reference plane with the desired distance and on it a new sketch.
On sketch 2, in the same way, create a circle again. (Here in the example it is smaller and shifted in relation to the first circle.)
Mark both sketches under History and then click on Create sweep base.
-> The dialog box History opens.
-> The sweep is displayed in the 3D view.
