Helix turn direction with expressions?

[badgerfan]

Is there a way in NX to use expressions to control the direction (left-hand, right-hand) of a Helix? Thank you!

 

[SiW979]

go to expressions and import the attached expressions file
for the expression of angle, the -360 is what controls the direction. if you delete the - it will cange direction.

cheers

Simon:

Thank you, but I was looking for something to control the radio-button under Curves-->Helix-->Turn direction....unless I am missing something from your solution!?!

You would have to use my method and then you could just tie in an expression of your choice. From what I can see there is no way to drive the radio buttons by expression using the simple helix command
