Hi,

Their is a way to "Fudge a look-a-like", but its is only a Fudge as it

squashes the coil out of true shap.

Make a coil in the straight length,

Create a new sketch and draw a line through the coil that "touches the model" (Important, or it won't work)

Use the bend tool command.

Again, this is only a quick "look-a-like"

Hope this helps
