Seems both simpler and more complex than that. You would need the centerline (axis) of your helix to be a variable spline. Then you would need to constrain each end of the spline to mate to the center point of the spring pocket I would think.

Old thread, but I select the red dimensions and change layer to solid. Don't know if there's a new better way to accomplish this now or not.

I felt as though it was a bug, but I wanted to make sure that there wasn't some process hierarchy I was missing. Either way it is very inconvenient for me. I often spend a little time sketching out things like this before I begin to actually model as these wind up being important driving...

I am trying to take the smaller free circle and make it tangent to two of the larger fixed circles. I used to do this all the...
