Re: Help me out on CADMAX Please

Ah you're not designing it, just drawing it in 3d. In a 2d drawing it would

normally be just 2 lines representing the outer and root diameters but you

can't really get away with that in 3d. I only know the traditional way of 
developing a helix - divide the diameter into 12 parts and project the 
corners of the pie to intersect with lines on equal divisions along the 
shank.
