I am trying to create a groove in a roll that I am modeling and I am having issues where the groove is so small that the helical sweep wouldn't regenerate. So, I changed the accuracy of the part to absolute and .0001. The helical sweep will now regenerate, but it takes forever and I can't get the drawing for the assembly this part is in to open. Any suggestions?

Three options spring to mind:
I would not suggest trying to sketch it in the drawing, that is just asking for trouble.

Yeah, don't model the sweep.
Instead just create a sketch the shows the sweep profile and show this sketch on the drawing in a detail view.
The problem is that the profile of the groove is so small that its not showing up in the drawing after I sketch it in the model. I might just have to sketch it in the drawing for it to work correctly.
With a detailed view you can set the scale completely different from the other views and really "zoom in".

Thanks Marc, that worked well with faking the part with a revolved cut.
