Create patterned trim using sweep with a path and profile

Draw the trim outline as a path, then sweep a profile shape along it to create patterned trim or moulding.

1. To create a patterned trim or moulding, draw the outline as a path, then use the sweep tool: select the path, define or edit the active profile shape (e.g. a rectangle), and apply.

2. The profile shape is retained after editing, so subsequent sweeps can reuse the same shape; a new shape can be created if needed.

3. Multiple parts can be swept along a continuous path or individually.

4. Copies can be made with the copy command (CP) and moved or mirrored into position.
