Sketching along a spiral

Unread post by ADFGToolmaker »

Hi All,

I want to be able to model a part where a sketch feature repeats tangent to a spiral path, like circular pattern, but a spiral instead of a circle. Is this possible somehow? My other option is to model the part straight and bend/deform it to follow a spiral, but I don't know if that is possible either?

Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

Quick thought is to make your spiral and just make different planes at the depths you need, convert entity the spiral in a sketch at every plane and make your shape where it needs to be.

Something like this

You can use a curve driven pattern with a helix/spiral
