wiring with twisted

If I'm using variable sweep blend... how to create the variable dimension by using "Tools - Relation" command?
 
first u make main curve that drives your cable. then create surface using vss, make only a line on any angle, change length as u need and dont change angle. then go to info>>switch dim, now ur dimensions looks like sd1, sd2 etc. go to tools, relation, ( u r remain in sketcher) now add a relation sd3(or symbol of your angle dimension)=(trajpar*360)*6(this is the number of twists u want. then ok. now u got a twisted surface. u can use sweep or vss and use the edges of surface as trajectory.


I think u understand. If u feel problems, plz tell me what version r u using, I will post a part.
