You can use an x-vector VSS to create a construction surface (line swept along trajectory, use the sketcher relation sd#=N*360*trajpar, where N = number of turns, to dimension the line's angle relative a sketcher reference), the edge of which will be the trajectory for your circular section profile.
Thanks Jeff.
Somebody sent me a link to a ptc tutorial:
