Helix

Helix

(OP)
I am using SW2006 SP4.1. Cannot get HELIX to work. I start with a circle then Insert, Curve, Helix/Spiral, but then my skicks out and goes to re-boot.
Is this the correct sequence?

RE: Helix

Yes, reboot is part of the sequence SW uses to create helix's. Make an enhancement request to remove reboot out of that sequence if you do not like it.  smile  

Does it only reboot on the helix feature?  If so, you might need to do a repair on the install.

RE: Helix

This is exactly what I do:
File
New
Part
Right Plane
Sketch
Circle
Insert
Curve
Helix/Spiral
Wait a Moment
SW Shuts OFF,
Screen Shows Up That Says"SW has exited due to an error."

RE: Helix

Yeah, you definitely have a problem there. Try repairing the install. If that doesn't work, I'd try doing a clean install.
