Hi,
Can somebody help me Im using SW2005 sp2.0 and am trying to create a curved spring like the garter springs used in shaft lip seals unfortunately the helix command only seem to want to do a linear spring and not follow a curve.
Any tips tricks or work round's greatly appreciated.

Use a sweep with twist to create something as imple as just a twisted surface. Then you can use convert edges or even componesite curve on the edge of the surface to get the path you need to sweep your curved helix.
I took Dale's advice

If Dale's suggestion and John's example didn't do what you need, try looking at some of the examples on Mike Wilson's site:
Please come back, Mike, we miss you!
