Pierce Relation: SolidWorks Tips and Things

Tue 10/26/1999 Tip #1

This week’s tip is on the subject of lofting and sweeping. Instead of a coincident relationship between your geometry and path, place a pierce relationship between the point and the path that you are sweeping or lofting on. A coincident relationship can cause problems in future changes or not allow it sweep or loft at all.

Pierce Relationship: A sketch point and an axis, edge, line, or Spline.

A sketch point and an axis, edge, line, or Spline. The sketch point is coincident to where the axis, edge, or reference curve pierces the sketch plane.
