It turns out, the spiral was just defaulted to hidden when placed into the DWG file - I had to select "Show" to see it. Still hoping there is a way to array spirals or create more than one per sketch, but at least I can make the DXF by brute force if needed.
Thanks again, CorBlimeyLimey.
Good idea about getting an upgrade! :) I open a new file, click 3D sketch, then draw a circle, then, when I go Insert --> Curve --> Helix/Spiral, I get a message that says "The sketch must contain only a circle." Am I missing something obvious?
I can't get the Convert Entities option to become clickable when I highlight either the spiral or the sketch (the circle) on which it is based. Any ideas?
Hello,
I am trying to generate a .dxf file that shows multiple spirals using Solidworks 2007. It seems I can only draw spirals by creating a new sketch for each one (since I can't create linear or circular patterns of them), and then, I can't seem to get the spirals to show up in a .dxf. Any...
