Need help with creating a specific spring

Need help with creating a specific spring

Need help with creating a specific spring

(OP)
Hey all, first time poster here.  I'm a new user to inventor and am completely lost on creating this part.  I've been trying for hours now to create a straight offset tension spring.  I think I have a pretty good feel for the program already and can create the coil I need, but making the offset extensions from there I just can't come up with anything.  If someone will, please give me some detailed pointers or an animated recording of how to do so preferably if you can.

Thanks in advance,
Nate

Nevermind, got it

RE: Need help with creating a specific spring

There are a couple springs on www.cbliss.com and I believe there is a tutorial to make an adaptive spring on www.sdotson.com

Regardless, you need to add both sites to your favorites list.
