Coffee Cup - Sweep function.

ian_longleyian_longley Member Posts: 7
I'm doing the coffee cup exercise and the handle will "sweep" the lower straight section or the upper curve section but try what may it's not doing both.  Can anyone say what I have done, or are doing, wrong please?  I hope this is the link to the document.  Many thanks.  Ian    https://cad.onshape.com/documents/0a4d2b5a4696f1fd31b0adf0/w/a801ee79540ca3457cda98dc/e/273a0212f0a8aacf6e3cfdb4?renderMode=0&uiState=65a29be9f9b29f3b5c004a47

    Either select both of the individual edges of the path in the path collector box or click on the path sketch name itself. Selecting the sketch means if you add/remove edges from the sketch, you don't need to update the selection for the sweep. If you select individual edges of the path sketch for the path of the sweep, the selection will always stay that way even if you add more edges to the sketch.

    I usually prefer to select the name of the sketch when it makes sense since it's more parametric.
