Hello,
I have similiar problem described here: external forum topic
Is it possible to pick the helical curve to create a frame generator part? Or sweeping a new section for each curve is the "fastest" solution?
Enclosed you will find a skeleton part file - Inventor 2015.

F-G doesn't like 3D lines or closed loops. The base circle can't be fully closed as it needs a start and end to a line. You will need to do a sweep or loft for the 3D line.
Is something like attached what you are trying to do? (Helical Pattern.iam)

Strange.
I can produce an F-G part on 100% identical curve which was made as intersection curve on cylinrical face.
This new helical curve was made by sweeping a line on path of helical curve first - it should have the same mathematical parameters.
Thanks JDMather, great!
Your solution is similiar but much better than my workaround!
