Helix Options
Displays the Helix Parameters dialog box so you can specify the parameters for the helix feature.
Cross Section & Axis Definition
Defines the cross section and helix axis for the helix. The cross section may be parallel or perpendicular to the axis of revolution.
Deselect (x)
Clears the selection.
Accept (check mark)
Accepts the selection.
Extent Type
Defines the depth of the feature or the distance to extend the profile to construct the feature. The extent options are: Finite Extent and From/To Extent.
From/To Extent
Sets the feature extent so that the profile is projected from a sketch plane to another specified face or surface.
Finite Extent
When constructing a helix, the finite extent is determined by the Helix Method you choose. For example, when you set the Axis Length and Pitch method, the helix extent is the length of the helix axis you defined earlier.
To/From
Specifies the To and From surfaces for a From/To extent.
Helix Method
Specifies the method used to define the helix parameters.
