How to make a helical spring

[emmadog]

I am new to SolidWorks, and I need to make a Helical Spring in version 2007. I am almost there, but I am a step or two away. Any help would be awesome.

Thank You,

Yancy

There is a model of a torsion spring with adjustable positions. Also, there is a barrel spring in Hinge.zip

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

Also, do a search here for 'helical spring'. Lots of threads on this subject.

You can look for springs in 3D Content Central also. Download a few models and look at the feature tree to see how they were created.

Mcmaster Carr also has a few examples that you can download in native SW format...
