This is an old bug, still here. -Make a helix along z axis -Sweep one rail a profile on the helix (ie. to make a screw). -Select all, and move along xy plane. ---> The swept solid inflates like my eyes :eek: I have to remove links everytime I want to move a screw. Please address. JL I still cannot upload anything. I am alone ?

With your file, I was able to recreate your issue, but as you can see with my file this does not happen. We must be doing something different. I followed your directions again.
-Create a helix along the z-axis
-one rail sweep an object around the helix
-Select all
-Move along the xy plane

JLM, after further investigation into your drawing, I found a random point attached to the swept profile, when i removed this point your issue is gone. -Go to your concepts explorer -Select the swept profile -On the feature tab expand part_6447352 -Expand sweep-6447322 -Delete the point -Close the concepts explorer -Select All -Translate I do not know why this point was causing the issue, that is another investigation.

Thanks Todd, I agree, as you say it works. Thank you for pointing out that point. Mysterious point : - I didn't create it. - It is not visible in the window, only in the tree. - Select mask doesn't catch it. Other points : - copy the solid with history doesn't copy the history. - translate-copy doesn't copy the issue... JL
