thread559-241904: How to Create a Spherical Helical Path with Solidworks
In the reference thread a user said to " Intersect a helical ribbon with a sphere and use the resulting edge".
Can anyone help explain how to go about this? I need to make a helical path along a hemispherical head.
Thanks ahead of time for any help that can be provided.

What I ended up doing was creating a variable pitch helix and adjusting each turn to wrap around a transposed arc. It took a lot of trial and error but eventually worked out
But if there is a better way of doing this I am always open to suggestions.
Here is what I am working on:
