Is it possible to side a spiral on SW

It's all in the question

Is it possible under SW to rate a spiral

the length of an arc can be rated,

I heard that you can also rate a spline on SW 2013 or 2014

(yes I'm still on 2012 premium)

but a spiral I don't know

Thank you

 

 

I answer myself........................ (I found).....; -)

yes _outil measure click on the arc and we have the length of the arc

What good is this @GT22... Question and answer.

 

Have you found a way to boost your points??? Because now you have to settle your question with your answer. ;-)

@ benoit you say

(Have you found a way to boost your points??? Because now you have to settle your question with your answer. ;-))

NO

if I end my answer as best answer I have no point ;-)

........................................ so that was really not the goal ;-)

no, the goal is to find the possibility of ensuring that

that the spring function works on a spiral spring

@+ ;-)

Settle your question anyway if you have found... Even without the 30  points... :-)

For your information, the spline quote is a new feature for 2014.

 

Good luck;)

It is possible to transform the sketch of the spiral into a 3D sketch (Convert entities) and thus measure the resulting sketch.

-> New 3D Sketch

-> Convert propeller/spiral (in the scan function)

-> to dimension the 3D sketch

"> it's over.

@ Maclane

I was talking about a flat spiral like a watch spring

The goal is to make the geometry of this spring play via contact with other parts

With the deform tool it can do it but it's only you step by step (sketch / sketch)

It is possible to do this via a compression or tension spring
