AutoCAD 2007 Helix inaccuracy

[philipjpanther.107009]

Anyone else noticed the inaccuracy when using new helix command
e.g draw helix with 1000 radius, top and bottom with one turn.
When you use list to find length the result seems to be incorrect
thus, result given 6348.2098 should be 6362.2651

When you use list to find length the result seems to be inccorrect
by quite a few percent.

I've seen that happen as well.... in my case it was close, but not perfect....

Yes, it's not very accurate. In a simple case (r = 1, turns = 1, height =1) I see a discrepancy of about 0.22% (should be 6.36226513, reported as 6.34821765).
