 * 3) Click on . Select.
 * 4) Draw a closed sketch with the required profile for the thread teeth, normally a triangular shape. In this case we will use a height of, which is slightly smaller than the  pitch used for the helix path. The profile must not create any self intersections when moved along the helix, neither between the turns nor in the middle, thus the sketch as shown for stacking disks cannot be used.
 * 5) Select the sketch, then click on . In, click on , and choose the helix object previously created. Then change  to  so that the profile sweeps the path without twisting; then press.
 * 6) When the dialog asks for a reference, choose.
 * 7) The helical coil is created, but there is no central body or shaft.
 * 8) Click on  with the appropriate   and   to touch the rest of the helical thread and automatically fuse to it.
