Helical Sweep Pro E WildFire 5
The Helical Sweep option is used to create helical swept features. You have to define a trajectory that will revolve along an axis, a pitch value, and a cross-section to create a helical feature using this option. The distance of the trajectory from the center line defines the radius of the helical path and the length of the trajectory defines the length of the swept feature. The main use of this option is to create the helical springs and threads.
