How do you create a curved spring in SolidWorks? It's not as simple as it sounds. The helix tool doesn't give you an option to do this, so you have to use some surfacing wizardry to get the job done.
Once you learn this method, you can apply this same workflow to all kinds of spring shapes.
This method uses a surface sweep with the "specify twist value" option turned on. This allows you to create a curved helix with two simple sketches.
