Please see attached parsolid. I want to model a flat endmill cutter part going in an arc down a helix. I have tried many different techinques and have failed. The angles and such does not matter at this point as long as it gets the shape I need.

In the attached I model I took a shape and rotated and copied many times to get close to shape I need. I would like a nice smooth path.

We do not have the cam package or the the advanced surfacing packages.

Dang I was so close. I tried to use circles instead of arcs. Nice model. I will upload the part I did here in a couple hours going to check it out with my rotate copy and move part. Thanks for that model cowski
