I've downloaded a spring from 3D content central (the open version of the
one that has ground ends and an open and closed configuration on the first
page).

I'm trying to edit the spring to make it match the spring I want to draw.

I've got the wire thickness done, the overall length, but I can't get the
diameter to change.

I've edited the sketch defining (I thought) the diameter of the first helix,
but the spring refuses to change diameter.

What gives?

I'm doing it this way for now, as a shortcut till I can get to grips more
with helixes and springs.

I can't figure out which one you are actually talking about - better
description, please, and I will look at it.

The spring models I use have several dimensions, so look at all the sketches
and features to find a dim you have missed.

Thanks for reply Wayne.

I think I got found the missed dim.

I set the diameter of the wire, and I think I missed the dim from centre
line to centre of wire, thus fixing the spring diameter.

Pretty sure I can get this now...

Thanks for looking

All of the spring "part templates" that I use (or have ever used) are
controlled by a design table. You may want to look there.
