I have SW 2003. Not 2004. Can you post a screen shot of what your trying to do and I'll see if I can help. I've played with 2004 but don't own a copy.

Would you not create a spring shape using a sweep?

Hello all!!!
I use a sweep for this function. You first create a helix with the attributes you want you spring to have. You then drae a circle at one end of the helix the diameter of the material. Then just use a sweep. The profile would be the circle, and the helix would be the path. I produce threads the same way, using a thread profile instead of a circle. Hope this helps!!!!
