Angle on a Helix

[[Ty...]]

What would be the best way, to check angle on a Helix

I am looking forward for answers 🙂

My knowledge would be curves and comparing to some generated. Or scan close curve, export saved points and use some generator.

Tyler,

That probably depends on the specifics of the helix geometry. I've checked skew angle on stator motors using the A1/A2 angles on the feature window set to a particular alignment.

Never used it, but would "Curve Slope" work for this?

So far i can get it close, by using 3d lines recalling points set at a pitch diameter along the helix path. but my engineers wont believe the results

Without curve?
...maybe intersect the helix with the ID/OD at different levels, and recall into a line?

i have all the curve/freeform, no PCM

How far off are you? I think you can get this, but it might involve some long hand trig...
