Bridge Curves Jumping on Helix Curve NX7.5
Bridge Curves Jumping on Helix Curve NX7.5
(OP)
I have this extension spring I have modeled. When I go to expression and change the the length of the spring the darn Bridge curves jump to the other side of the helix. Is there a way to keep this from happening ARRGGHH? We are using NX 7.5. This spring has a little bit of a taper to the coils so it is not just and easy extension spring. If you have any other robust way of modeling I am all ears. Can not wait until we get NX8.5 for the helix funtion update. What is the best way of tying the round ends into the Coil?

Note that since your 'Law Curve' appeared to be a simple 'Helix' I replaced it with a Helix feature. I also removed the Edge Blend since it was no longer needed (these features are still there but have been suppressed so that you can see exactly what I did).
