Helix, mate

[sewy]

Hi all!
I have a task to connect a roll with helix face. In result, Helix face should be 'hanged' on roll on one point and turn around his axis. Is this so possible to be simulated? Thank you for response,I beat brains about several days.

We're going to need more information about what you are trying to do before we can offer educated help. Maybe post your models as well. There can be infinite helix faces and rolls.

I am not sure how to enclose a file, I tought it was done on first post. Generally I would like to mate helix (face or curve) with cylinder.

Without seeing the image I would suggest possibly looking into the Path mate that was introduced in SW2008. It allows you to mate a point to a path that can be identified through a sketch pretty easily. So maybe a point on one component...following a specified sketch on the other?
