Swept Protrusion Command
Swept Protrusion Command
Constructs a protrusion by extruding a cross section (A) along a path (B) you define.
You can define up to three paths and many cross sections. To define the path curves and cross sections, you can:
Draw the profiles as you construct the feature
Select elements from an existing sketch
Select edges on the model or a construction body
When constructing swept features with three paths, after you select the third path, the command automatically proceeds to the Cross Section Step.
When working with swept features that have more than one path and cross section, you should consider drawing sketches first, rather than drawing the profiles as you construct the feature. This approach can make it easier to construct and edit the feature.
Regardless of the approach you use, the feature is associative to the elements you select to define the paths and cross sections.

When working with a weldment assembly, you can use this command to construct an assembly feature to define weld bead material. For more information, see the Weldments in Assemblies, Swept Protrusion Command Bar, and Sweep Options Dialog Box Help topic2.
