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.

Example: EN 10253

In the following you can see an excerpt in PARTdesigner, which exemplifies the usage.

Create a circle in a base sketch.

	Note
	Do not create the circle as a whole, but rather as a quarter, which you compete to a circle by rotation. Background: In order to ensure compatibility to various CAD systems a minimum number of 4 sketch elements is required.

Insert a Pattern origin.

Note

The pattern origin has to be on a contour.
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.)
Set a pattern origin again.

Note

The pattern origin has to be on a contour.
Mark both sketches under History and then click on Create sweep base.

-> The dialog box History opens.

Confirm with OK.

-> The sweep is displayed in the 3D view.
