Initially, the default base radius is set to 1. During a drawing session, the
default value for the base radius is always the previously entered base radius
value for any solid primitive or helix.
The default value for the top radius is always the value of the base radius.
The base radius and top radius cannot both be set to 0.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Number of turns = 3 (default)
Twist = CCW (default)
Specify center point of base: Specify a point
Specify base radius or [
Diameter (page 505)] <1.0000>: Specify
a base radius, enter d to specify the diameter, or press Enter to specify the default
base radius value
Specify top radius or [
Diameter (page 505)] <1.0000>: Specify a
top radius, enter d to specify the diameter, or press Enter to specify the default top
radius value
Specify helix height or [
Axis endpoint (page 505)/Turns (page
506)/
turn Height (page 506)/tWist (page 506)] <1.0000>: Specify a
helix height, or enter an option
Diameter (Base)
Specifies the diameter of the base of the helix.
Specify diameter <2.0000>: Specify a diameter or press Enter to specify the default
value
Initially, the default base diameter is set to 2. During a drawing session, the
default value for the base diameter is always the previously entered base
diameter value.
Diameter (Top)
Specifies the diameter of the top of the helix.
Specify diameter <2.0000>: Specify a diameter or press Enter to specify the default
value
The default value for the top diameter is always the value of the base diameter.
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.
