Spiral along curved path

Spiral along curved path

Currently you can only create a spiral along a straight line, it would be extremely useful to allow you to use a curved path, such as to make a spiral cord. This is a feature SolidWorks has but Fusion seems to lack.

I voted for this because the coil tool is rather limited, however there is a way to make a non-straight coil in Fusion 360.

If you create a thread in the regular Forum I can show you how.

I have a spreadsheet that will create a 3D spline for a thread. I think that's probably the best bet for you right now. Write the equations into a spreadsheet, compute the 3D points, then import that as a spline into fusion 360

Hey there, thanks for the idea. This is something we want to do and is in our backlog, but we are not sure when we will be able to get to it since there are higher priority projects we are currently working on. Looks like there are a couple of work-around below. We will keep you posted on when we begin work on this.
