Axis Endpoint

Specifies the endpoint location for the helix axis. The axis endpoint can be

located anywhere in 3D space. The axis endpoint defines the length and

orientation of the helix.

Specify axis endpoint: Specify a point

Turns

Specifies the number of turns (revolutions) for the helix. The number of turns

for a helix cannot exceed 500.

Initially, the default value for the number of turns is three. During a drawing

session, the default value for the number of turns is always the previously

entered number of turns value.

Enter number of turns: Enter a number

Turn Height

Specifies the height of one complete turn within the helix.

The number of turns in the helix will automatically update accordingly when

a turn height value is specified. If the number of turns for the helix has been

specified, you cannot enter a value for the turn height.

Specify distance between turns <default>: Enter a number to specify the height

for each turn in the helix

Twist

Specifies whether the helix is drawn in the clockwise (CW) or the

counterclockwise (CCW) direction. The default value for the helix twist is

CCW.

Enter twist direction of helix [CW/CCW] <CCW>: Specify a twist direction for

the helix
