Tubing Helix 1

[tluxon]

I have tubing that follows the path of a 3dsketch, then into a helix, and back out to a 3dsketch.

It seems that there should be some easy way to share the helix with both the boss sweep and the cut sweep, since SWX doesn't seem to facilitate both in the same helix-based feature like in you can in a 3dsketch.

How do you guys do this? I'm a SWX guy all the way, but Inventor definitely makes it easier to do this.

Thanks,

Tim

I create my tubes, as a boss sweep with thin feature or use the shell feature
