Hi Sven, is this what you're looking for? :



That was made by drawing in an arc like this:


Then using the Transform > Deform > Twist command to twist it around the z axis with an Angle value of 1800 degrees.

Great, you're welcome Sven!

Basically the Transform > Deform > Twist command does its work by transforming points onto a helix. So it can be used to sort of helix-ize a curve like this.
