Re: Challenges?
here is a start file in sketcher if anyone wants to work with it
Re: Challenges?
I would convert the Spiral into a Sketch which will produce a B-Spline curve in Sketcher.
Then insert a B-Spline knot at the position you want to have the tangent and create a point at this knot (using a point on point constraint). Draw a construction circle through that point (with the center point at the center point of the spiral) and create a tangent line through that point with the circle.

Cheers,

Re: Challenges?
why get complicated?
should be toponaming safe because the spiral has only one edge, don't know if there can be issues by increasing the number of turns too much.- thomas-neemann

Re: Challenges?
it should e.g. this spring coming out.
this start and end point of the tangent are specified

Re: Challenges?
what's the point of the construction circle?

Re: Challenges?
you should provide this kind of requirement when you make the challenge not after the fact, incomplete information cannot be guessed. What are the requirements? dimensions? some angle? without more data I can only make an arbitrary spiral with an arbitrary tangent line, which I already did.thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 12:48 pm this start and end point of the tangent are specified

Re: Challenges?
extension of the challenge: to create this spring
from the start file
or
as precisely and quickly as possible with a variant that is twice as large
here is my suggestion
