Creating Helical FeaturesProcedureSlide 3Slide 4Finished Helix with TaperCreating Threads using the Helical FeatureAs a Cutout Helical FeatureAs a Helical Extrusion1SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyCreating Helical FeaturesWith “Coil” Feature for Springs or Threads2SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyProcedure1. Start a new part2. Draw a closed profile and draw a line or select a reference plane for the axis of revolution3. Select Return and CoilClosed ProfileAxis of Revolution3SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyProcedure5. Click on line or reference plane that is to be the axis of revolution to specify the start end of helical axis4SheetCourse: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and Visualizationcopyright 2009, Georgia Institute of TechnologyProcedure6.
