Request help in drawing
(OP)
hi everyone,
I have a problem in drawing of 3-stranded wires helical spring. It is made by 3 wires that is tied to form a rope. Then, the rope is curved to form a helical spring.
Is anyone got the ideas to draw it out?
Thank you very much

Another time we just extruded a single circle of the proper diameter, along a p-line centerline (Extrude-Path) with the necessary curved bends (allowing for the 2D limitation of plines w/ curves)then just attached a jpg decal of a good photo of the cable we were using. Resulted in a far smaller net file size (with the accompanying improvements in performance...) and a QUITE resonable approximation of the desired result. Not perfect, but it met our needs at the time, and most importantly, the boss was pleased !
ACAD has some really great capabilities, if you are willing to live with the necessary compromises, but I guess that's true with EVERY system !
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
