The Helix-Spiral Creation dialog box opens; specify the object parameters.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
A helix or spiral is created.
A helix or spiral object can be used, without further conversion, as a path object for the Extrude Along Path command.
Ungrouping a helix-spiral object results in a NURBS curve.
