You can draw two types of spirals: symmetrical and logarithmic. Symmetrical spirals expand evenly so that the distance between each revolution is equal. Logarithmic spirals expand with increasingly larger distances between revolutions. You can set the rate by which a logarithmic spiral expands outward.

2. |
Type a value in the Spiral revolutions box on the property bar.
|

On the property bar, click one of the following buttons:
|
• |
Symmetrical spiral
|
• |
Logarithmic spiral
|
If you want to change the amount by which the spiral expands as it moves outward, move the Spiral expansion factor slider. |
4. |
Drag diagonally in the drawing window until the spiral is the required size.
|
 |
You can draw a spiral from its center outward by holding down Shift as you
