Helix with 3D sketch path?

[CajunCAD]

Is there a way to generate a helix that follows a 3D path?

I am trying to illustrate component wiring. I have 5 wires that are twisted together - these twisted wires are then fed thru passages and around components.

I am able to sweep the wires along a 3D path to get close to the result I am looking for.

Any help would be appreciated.

You may want to look at one of the most fabulous sites for SolidWorks: Mike Wilson has some awful stuff at

For your special problem you should go to page 5 and examine the "Adjustable Curved Helix" example.
