Help with modeling tip

Hello guys, I am a new user.
First of all, congrats on the forum, it is awesome!!
Secondly I have this doubt

I have a doubt that i never managed to solve with SW, and now it's
haunting me because I need to model something using this technique,

I
have a profile, and a bunch of paths. The paths are all contained in
the same sketch (because they are complex, and based on offsets of
lines, all related to each other.
I want that profile to create
different sweeps for every path in the sketch, but of course I can't
select the path because there are multiple open lines in the sketch.

I
tried to convert every single line of the sketch to different sketches
with the convert entities, but it's nuts as there are loads of them.
And I can't do one sweep and then "array" it, because the profiles
change slightly from one to the next.
Do you have any suggestion on how to go about with this?
Any hint would be much appreciated.
Thanks
 
If the sketch is a 3d Sketch you can use them to do what you want to and have all of the profiles, and paths in one sketch.

Hi behnt,
I can't seem to make it work, it does not allow me to select the path, I tried with surface sweep, with boss/base sweep but nothing..
 
upload the model and let us see it. Or take a screen capture and
add that image to your post. That will help us see what you see
and maybe we can offer solution to your problem.
