      In response to a request for more information on how to use the (free) Curve Maker plugin to draw spirals, I prepared the attached tutorial. I welcome feedback on this tutorial.

      Draw 2D Spirals Tutorial.skp

      If you are not using the latest version (1.03), you will not be able to draw some of the Archimedean spirals in the tutorial that are illustrated in the attached pdf.

      More information on the plugin is available at http://www.drawmetal.com/curvemaker and in this SketchUcation post http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=180&t=10880

      The plugin can be downloaded from http://www.drawmetal.com/download

        Thats a very good tutorial. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to make it 👍

        Its probably worth contacting the maker fo the plugin, im sure theyd be interested in including your tutorial with their plugin.

        thanks again.

            Dear Max,
            Clever and instructive explanation.
            And certainly a very useful tool. (i have fought some time ago with that spiral shape and haven't found in this time such a tool
