AutoCAD Inventor :: Coil Or Spring Along A Curved Path
Dec 3, 2010
I have a unique part that needs to be generated in IV. It is a sping that follows a curved path (see attachment). I do have complete information, just need to draw it in.

I'm trying to create a coil spring to go around a long bolt for bracing. I'm using AutoCAD 2011 MEP. I need to know how to make the path for the spring so I can sweep it, it does not have to be super accurate size-wise (it's more for representation purposes) but would still like to know how to do it..

I've read the posts pertaining to coil features along curved paths. The existing solutions are limited in that they must rely on a solid with the addition of a bend feature. How can I create a helical surface structure including multiple bends like the one shown?

I want to insert a spring in an assembly, and for that i will make a spring with the coil command. if i will squeese it between surfaces, will it resemble a spring? will the bindings come closer (i hope they are called bindings, otherwise tell me how they are called)?

I am trying to draw an elliptical coil spring with top and bottom radius of 2 in and center radius of 3 in with 5 turns and spring ht of 5 in. the wire guage is 0.1in.
I could draw a cylindrical spring with helix and sweep command but don't know how to draw an elliptical coil spring. What are the commands or steps to get it. Also, I have problems in getting dimensions of radius and height for the coil spring. I use autocad 2014.

A multi-part question:
1.) How do you recommend I model a rectangular spring?
2.) How do I apply the concept from the initial question and apply a curve to the spring?
3.) How do I mimic the properties of a spring in animation?

I am trying to assemble a roller to follow the path as shown in the attached file. I am able to make it follow one path, i.e. around the bend, but then how do I make it continue along the straight section and not continue around the circular path?
I eventually intend to use the dynamic simulator tool to animate my full model. Is there a way to use the connection parameters in this environment to enable the roller to follow the correct path.

I want to extrude a big number of pillars to a rather complicated surface and that works out fine. But each end of the pillars warps around the surface and I want them just to go up to it and stop with a resulting horizontal face.

I need creating a 3D autocad drawing of an embankment. I want to extrude the 2D drawing along a curved path. I can create this drawing , when the slope of the embankment is the same. But when the slope of the embankment will vary.

I created a simple spiraled coil IV10, and in my IDW I can't place a center mark in the center of the spiral. How do you dimensiom this? I also want to dimension ID and I can't. Something that you would think is so simple is holding me up.

Im using Inventor 2013 and im trying to make a tapered coil but instead of creating it with a liner taper i want a curved taper. Is there a way to create this (perhaps using guide curves like loft feature?)

How the heck do I make a bent coil following an arc 90 deg?
I do know how to make coil and helix, screws etc bur I cannot figure out how to make this coil

I'm looking for making this part. I'm trying to make a pipe that is bent into a donut so the two ends are connected. Then theres a coil around the pipe.
How I can make the donut and/or the coil?

I created text on a curved path using the pen tool and the the type on a path tool. However, there are portions of the text that I want to taper. For example, my text begins horizontally, continues to the right, and gradually curves downward. As the text curves downward I would like it to taper smoothly into a narrower and narrower text.

Using Inventor 2013 SP1
A user just point out to me that when making a coil with 12 revolution is OK but 13 is really wrong.
tube Ø54x2 mm
Øcoil = 800 mm
pitch = 55 mm
Is there a patch for that?

I can't make a spring moving according to other parts' behaviour. I use Inventor 12. by the way I sent two photos (scanned by Microsoft Security Essentials-no problem), the spring in the photos was made by design accelerators-as compression spring. I want from spring to move with the other parts but it doesn't. For instance when I pull the blue part down, blue part, and the spring go the into of each other.

I have cut out a spiral from top on a cylinder, now I want to make a nice finish. And cutting with a conical spring profile is the way to do it.

Inventor offers us several options to design a coil of constant pitch with a tapering diameter. However, I am unable to create a coil with a taper and a changing pitch at the same time.
We are using Inventor 2013. I would like to produce similar parts as the attached 2D drawings in 3D, only with a changing pitch (distance between revolutions) per revolution. Can it be done? There is software for the CNC spring manufacturing machines to produce such parts. Therefore the proper inputs to produce these effectively and efficiently, are available somewhere.
The part I've been describing uses .09 diameter wire and has about 54 coils in about 8 inches. The starting inside diameter is about .53" and the pitch is about .27" the ending inside diameter is .109" +/- .01 with a pitch of about .091".
Here are 2D drawings of similar parts, the last (NF3) is closest to what we need.
