Creating a SpringSelect Insert → Helical Sweep → Protrusion
Four steps have to be performed to create a spring
1 – Attributes; Select Constant pitch, Thru Axis and Right Handed spring, then choose Done.

2 – Swp Profile; Select Plane and choose the Front plane select okay and then choose Default for view orientation
Creating a Spring
Select okay Select Default
Select Front plane

3 - In the sketch, draw a vertical line 3.0 inch long and .5 from the origin. This will create a 3 inch long spring with outside diameter of 1.0 inch. Also, draw a vertical centerline from the origin. The spring pattern will revolve about the centerline.

4 - Exit the sketcher and enter pitch value of 0.25. Pitch is the distance between each coil. Confirm by selecting the check mark
Enter pitch value

Creating a Bolt
2 - Select Insert → Helical Sweep → Cut1 - Create a solid section, sketch a circle and extrude

Creating a BoltHelical Sweep (Cut) menu, same as before. One extra selection, material side removal direction
3 – Select Constant pitch, Thru Axis and Right Handed, then choose Done.
4 – Select Plane and choose the Front plane → okay → Default

5 – Draw a vertical centerline from the origin. Draw a vertical line to specify the height of the thread. The distance between this line and the centerline should be equal to the radius of the solid section.
centerline
6 - Exit the sketcher and enter pitch value of .125 Pitch is the distance between each thread. Confirm by selecting the check mark
