Re: Coil

Every cad package I've seen has problems constraining helix(s). I hate to say this, but if nothing already mentioned works, you may be best off just eyeballing it.

What are you trying to do? There may be an easier and more efficient way of doing it, expecially if it's a cosmetic detail.

Re: Coil

All I can say is try to use a work plane, or axis, although I havnt really had much experiance with the coil option in inventor, I've only modeled springs 3-4 times, and I havnt had to do much constraining.
