What is the role of SPINE in swept command in NX?
ANS:

Use a spine curve to control the orientation of the section strings and to avoid distortions caused by the uneven distribution of the parameters on the guides. A spine string works best when it is normal to the section strings.

A spine is a curve such that the profile is always on a plane perpendicular to the spine.

Also the Spine curve controls the length of the resultant surface.
