Spring

The coil function allows the user to extrude a closed profile along a helical path and around an existing axis. The axis may be an existing edge, a sketched line, or a work axis. We used the coil function to turn the existing circle into a spring form by coiling it around the Y axis of the Cartesian coordinate grid. The Y axis must be selected from the origin folder in the browser bar. The spring will have a height of 6 inches and the circle will revolve around the Y axis a total of five times.
