We used spiral patterns for planer transformer. Designed them in AutoCAD and imported DXF into Allegro. Regards, Michael L.

I use Solidworks to create the spiral pattern I wanted and imported it into cadence and then created the artwork with that layer turned on.

No takers? The only way I know of to create a spiral pattern (not with variable trace widths) is add connect and use arcs. If you do need variable width, creating a shape with arcs should do it.
