Hi there all,

I am trying to get a spring to follow a curve in UG NX4 but the helix function only allows me to create a straight spring.

Can anyone please advice how to get this helix to follow a curve?

Cheers in advance

Chris.
 
Try using a smaller Position Tolerance value in the Swept Body dialog Settings section.
