Hi, someone know how to make a revolve over a curve line?  
Thanks

Hi,  
At this time we do not have a tool for these geometries, but with some transformation, the result can be achieved. Let me share an earlier forum post with you, I hope it helps:

I copy rotated the coil 19.4° about the XYZ axis. The 19.4° is an approximation as I just eyeballed it. Anyway, this is one approach to create the inductor wire.
