Helical pattern?
Helical pattern?
(OP)
Helical spring shape geometry I need to show a change in the profile (finned tube).
is there a feature that will allow me do create this.
Like the curve driven pattern but in 3d.
Thanks

As for making a sweep, you can make different shapes if you make multiple helixes, but you will have to make as bunch of separate sweeps. so the question is what you exactly want. the link provides us with many different types... what one are you wanting to know about in thise question?

RE: Helical pattern?
I can easy model a helix (spring shape) and I can easily model a straight tube with rings around it like ( http://www.fintube.com/stamped.htm#stamped ) but I need to show my helix (spring) with these rings.
Thanks

Is upgrading an option? 2006 is nearing it's last sservice pack and is fairly stable.

split line, open a 3d sketch, click on split line, then click on convert entities. A point was also added in the
3D sketch for the plane creation.

It's hard, I’m the only user of SW in the company I work for, so a big thanks to the people here!

RE: Helical pattern?
This is what I need to do too. However, I'm struggling to convert the helix to 3d Sketch. Once it's a spline I'm sure that the pattern to curve in SW2005 will do what I need.
