It should open (hopefully)
R7 files (even from the beta I believe) can open In R6 - I could be wrong
though where the beta is concerned but obviously the full version is
backwards compatible.
Basically, I did at part level what you probably did at assy level (but assy
level is a lot quicker!)
I created a coil of 1 revolution and circular patterned it as a feature to
create the bent spring. I assume you used a circular assy pattern
Hope this makes sense (It's Friday night in the UK and I've been drinking!)
