Cadfisch Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 In AutoCad 2004 you cannot create a real coil spring unfortunately. When I needed one years ago I asked a friend who drew one for me I believe in 3DS MAX which I then imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, there are no standard tools to create a spring in older versions of Autocad, but if you searched the forum, as I suggested, you would have found THIS thread which contains a lengthy discussion on how to create a helix with lisp programming. So yes, it can be done. You can also find the Helix lisp routine in the Autolisp Archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
