Yes, that is correct. I inserted a circle with 5 vertices then I used the Align function in the vm to place the circle at the beginning of the sweep path. Select a vertex of the circle then select the vertex at the beginning of the sweep path then make this point the control point by ctrl+alt click this point. Then press ctrl+k to align the circle to the beginning of our sweep path. I then performed the sweep or extrude . I hope this helps out.
