Is it possible to create a helix that would follow a path orcircle? I am trying to make a gear that interfaces with a wormgear. I thought I might be able to make a helix that wraps aroundthe outside diameter a disc and then make a tooth profile sweepalong the helix to cut the teeth into the disc.
I kind of made one by using subtract in the combine feature of theworm gear and the disc, sectioning one tooth, and the circularreplicating that section, but it never quite matches up.
Anyone have an idea how to make something like this?
Thanks
