Hi,

Please see the attached images of spring drawn from inventor and real springs image.

See at the ends in the real springs, and how to make it in inventor ?

Set the Flat Transition and Angle.

Attach your *.ipt here if you can’t figure it out.

Hi Xun,

Thanks for your response.

It is solved the problem.

I couldn't understand how this flat angle and transition angle works with the start and end ?

Is this refers any datum point or plane to measure these angles ?

Please kindly explain.

The flat setting of flat angle and transition angle more like a better human interface to user who don't know the
helical curve compute algorithm. Say it is controlled by equation actually and the value input is one of vector to shape the curve.

Hope it helps!
