If you get stuck because of this, a workaround is to get the size and pitch to where you want, then set the section position to inside. Make a sketch, 3D Include the outside seam line of the coil. In the browser remove the body of the coil. Use the pipe command to recreate the coil using the 3D sketch. Now the profile will run normal to the curve..
But yea, that should obviously be an option (the default even) in the coil command to begin with.
Thank you for your idea, this is getting archived. We have plans to create a helix sketch and expand the sweep tool to control pitch. These improvements will solve the issue that you bring up, we feel that the coil command is not the correct place for this functionality.
