This is something I may find useful. In the past, I made swiggly inductors as library
components.
Sorta like a continuous 'S', I found them useful as power chokes.

| Bill,
| for anything even close to that, we draw or implement those in
| AutoCAD or our RF simulation tools. Then we import (usually through Gerber,
| possibly DXF import) into the PCB database. I haven't heard nor know of any
| better manner to implement it in Protel.
| For a continuous spiral I would not even have high hopes of using
| these methods because I don't believe that Protel would have any means of
| interpreting this structure into it's own database structure. Fortunately I
| have never had to find out yet, the closest our engineers have come to
| making me try this is a rectangular spiral (simple as straight lines).
