Curve Pattern on Spiral with Orientation locked on Circle Center

SkiBoy22SkiBoy22 Member Posts: 7

I want to pattern an object along a curve (ive tried both Helix and Parametric) and lock the orientation on the center of the circle (in my case the Z Axis).

The curve starts at 120mm Radius and ends at 40mm radius

    Pattern a sketch feature which is dimensioned by the angle, and coincident with the curve, and re-apply feature.
