Hello

I want to make a spiral as precisely as possible , do you have a toturiel to explain to me how to do it ?

to define the length of the balance spring, the angles etc...

Thank you

Thank you 

but it doesn't help me too much to do as precise as possible

Have you looked at this link at the bottom of the page? Everything is explained, the not the number of revolutions...

What do you mean by "precise"?
What type of spiral do you want (Archimedes, logarithmic, Fermat, Galileo, etc.)?
It may be interesting to go through a curve defined by an equation.

 Hi @ sebastienaltern

Your question is not very clear either

What does it mean as precisely as possible?

Have you been to see the function at least

see this link if the problem is the same

Hello

What type of spiral do you want to draw ? (https://www.mathcurve.com/courbes2d/spirale/spirale.shtml)

If you have myCADtools you can use "CurveEquation" and enter the polar equation of your spiral and set a stitch calculation step as fine as you want

given your answer: Thank you I'll get back to you as soon as I know more about the parameter of this part 

Was it a question in anticipation? lol;-)

You can also make the spiral on a 2D software like AUTOCAD and then import it into a sketch.

Hello

If you have a model and want to take the values of a spiral, you can select an edge of that spiral and convert it into a sketch.
