Sectioning Coil Spring

A coil spring with a 49 mm pitch diameter, 3 mm coil, 6 revolutions and 17 mm pitch will section in a 2D drawing. If you change the pitch to 18 mm the hatch lines go away and if you change the pitch to 19 mm the 2D drawings fails because of, "Modeling failure while trimming and discarding faces." However, the model does not fail.
If you change the pitch to less than 18 mm the 2D drawing works again.

Regards,
John

John sent me his files, and I forwarded the issue to development. BTW, the
hatch lines are there for the 18 mm pitch, but they are so close to the
circular edges that you have to zoom way in to see them.

I had to resize hatch lines in R7 as well when I did those ... maybe even R6
but can't remember for sure.
