Based on your explanation I found and fixed the issue. The solution will be invaluable to us!

I had widened the Sweep Rail by pivoting on a Corner Point. Based on your help, I pivoted on the standard point above it and it worked.

THANKS!

I love this product.

By the way, Version 4 is a bit more forgiving than Versions 3!

I will download your fix. Thanks, again.

If it could help, to explore this mystery, when you move a point which is not a sweet point, the sweep is capped.

The path is made with hard and soft points with lines and curves joined.
If you use a rebuild fuction, the problem is resolved.
If you use a ReconstructCurve, it's solved too.
If you use the script delcorners, it's solved too.

Michael, is it possible to view the different types of points in MOI ?
Soft, Hard and those are semisoft/semihard ?

Great suggestion! I, too, would find this very helpful... as I did your accompanying suggestions. In fact, I will incorporate those ideas into our training to reduce the frustration of a sweep no acting as we expected.

Thank you so much!

For example, Inkscape do it with squares and diamonds
squares are soft points, diamonds are hard points.

Perhaps a script could change type of a point (or joint)

Hi Phiro,

There isn't anything for that currently but it's something I would like to add in the future. It will probably be something that shows up in Join initially, like some kind of optional report after doing a Join that tells you if segment ends are tangent to each other or not.
