After you create that circle you can go to the command Features > Curves > Helix and Spiral. Next, I am going to begin a new sketch, and I’m going to sketch a circle because every time you make a helix in SOLIDWORKS, the way you begin is by creating a new sketch, and then sketching a circle. ![]() I’m going to then extrude that out to a height of 1.5 inches. ![]() If I look back at the specifications sheet, the shaft diameter should be. I’m going to begin by taking my hex cap screw that I modeled in my previous blog and I’m going to create a shaft coming off of it. In my last blog, I demonstrated how to make a screw in SOLIDWORKS, and to continue with this blog series, I’m going to be working with that same model. One of the most common applications for making a helix is in order to cut threads onto a model – and that’s exactly what I’m going to cover today. ![]() In this blog, I demonstrate how to make a helix in SOLIDWORKS.
