In Pro E this is called a helical sweep (Insert > Helical Sweep > Protrusion).


You will need to define a profile, a cross section, and a pitch value (length of the profile divided by number of coils). It's pretty simple, with a lot of different options (e.g., right-handed vs left-handed, parallel to axis vs normal to trajectory).


If you have any more details, post them, and I can help you out.

Hi Diego,

We've create a detail tutorial on how to draw spring using the helical sweep feature.

Take a look...
