Library Feature Problem

[Creigbm]

I am creating a library feature and it will not allow me to add a helix to the library. Has anyone encountered this before? If so, is there a work around or fix? I checked to make sure that I didnt have external references that may cause the problem, but I got no where. Thanks for your help

The only reason why I think it won't work, is because it's not a true sketch nor a feature. try making a second profile and sweep them together. That should then you could have the user remove the feature and the second profile. They would then be left with just the helix.

That is what I started out with. I had my loft created using two profiles and a helix and it would not let me add it to the library. Then I started investigating why and found I was unable to add the helix sketch to the library.

OK I called and got the answer - It's a limitation - Enhancement Request. There is an ER - SPR already for this. If you put in your ER, then give this reference number 148790

Do I go through my VAR to do this or straight through SW
