Hello everyone
Can anyone suggest a way to draw a helix (coil spring). I want
something like the one at http://www.eldoradosoft.com/images/3pi/track_planning/Helix13.gif
but with 5 or 6 turns. I don't have any 3D software, but I do have
Adobe Illustrator CS, Inspiration and Omnigraffle.
I found I could trace shapes with bezier curves in omnigraffle, but
it's still not smooth enough.
Any ideas?
Rob
