Add Functionality to the Coil Feature

Add Functionality to the Coil Feature

When a coil is created, you cannot go back and edit the sketch or its location.  So if the feature the coil goes through is moved for a design change, the coil then needs to be moved, but it is a manual move.  

  • There is no way to "edit the sketch" of the coil and redefine its starting position.
  • You can make it into a component, but workardouns have to be used to locate the center of the coil, by sketches.  
  • The coil feature should create and "axis" and a center start point automatically.

This will make the coils more robust and easy to work with.

Please add more shapes for the coil, because circular coils only limits the potential to design new types of springs etc...

Addressing custom coil with a helix command.  This will enable the user to change the sketches that were used to create the shape.
