Sweep of sketch fails: "Feature results in an invalid body"

[DDoerschuk]

I've reduced the attached part file down to a single failed sweep feature. The Status of the feature is:
"ACISERROR_INVALID_BODY_RESULT: Operation - The Feature results in an invalid Body."
If you replace the Object sketch with something trivial, like a circle, the sweep works correctly, so I believe the Path sketch is fine and the problem lies with the Object sketch.

Would you mind taking a look at this part file? I appreciate it very much.

Thank you!
Dave

I offset the path by a bit making it a little larger and the sweep worked. I have found that getting the sketches just so doesn't always do the trick...sweeps are funny that way.

NeilR, thank you very much! Your suggestion to offset the Path sketch slightly worked perfectly!

I've entered a Support Case to ask engineering to fix this problem permanently.

Thank you again; I have an embarassing number of hours logged on this problem - very glad to have it working!

Best regards,
Dave
