Flat Spiral Using Helix Not Working V5.0.4.1

[dm3d]

I like that the helix function can be used to create flat spirals, however it will not work in my version V5.0.4.1. I even imported the spiral created by psiwak from thread thread561-260746 but could not modify it.

Please help....

Thank you,

Your use of the word "imported" sets off alarm bells. If you somehow imported the file, perhaps the parameters were not retained in the process.

You should be able to open the file directly; the spiral is represented by a 'helix' feature. Double click the feature to modify the parameters.

I had NO problems whatsoever creating a 'spiral', using the 'Helix' function, with NX 5.0.6.3 (see attached file).
