Summary0002234: Cannot create edge linked to external geometry if it's sweeped
DescriptionEdges of a planar face of geometry created via sweeping can't be referenced via the "Create edge linked to external geometry" tool.

There's no such issue with a sketch that has been extruded in the Part workbench. I did not test other means of geometry creation in the Part workbench, regarding this issue.

See attached test file.
Steps To Reproduce* Part Design workbench: Create 3 sketches with appropriate offsets and orientations: 2 rectangular profiles and a guide (single line or arc doesn't matter) for a sweep.
* Part workbench: create a sweep, check "solid".
* Part Design workbench: select a face on the side of the sweep, add a sketch
* Try to use "Create edge linked to external geometry" and note that no element will be added!

Up to 0.16 this is as expected since the Sketcher didn't support B-splines. When trying to link unsupported external geometry, a message is printed in the Report view:

>Not yet supported geometry for external geometry
>Failed to add external geometry: Not able to add external shape element

Support for B-splines was just added to FreeCAD master, and they can now be linked to as external geometry. But not all constraints are supported yet, so I don't think this should be considered fixed for now.

@Abdullah I saw b-splines and thought of you ;)

@kunda1

Here I agree with Normand on the facts, but I differ in the conclusion. The reasons for the divergence are:
1. The bug is about the imposibility to import external geometry of b-spline type (which in any case should be a feature request and not a bug report).
2. The current sketcher allows to import such external geometry.
3. While it is true that b-spline does not support certain constraints, and notably point on curve, which is limiting, I think that would be a feature request unrelated to this ticket.

I am ok though with whatever you decide to do with it.

Per @abdullah's comment I am closing this report as fixed in 0.17. It is now possible to create edge linked to external geometry that consist of B-splines as is the case with swept edges.

Closing.

@normandc should we open a Feature request for this? If not then don't respond. If so..do you mind opening one? ;)
