Re: Coil

It's been a while since I've used inventor, I've been busy learning solidworks in college this year... Could you make a work axis in the coil part drawing and then constrain the screw to the work axis?

I think that's your only real option.... I think a tangent constraint will just horribly confuse inventor, since the coil would have to be tangent at several points....
