1st: use 3D sketch to create helical curve. Select pitch and revolution in the definition list. You can set the diameter, pitch as you want. For this tutorial, I will set: Diameter is 30mm, pitch is 10mm, revolutions are 25 ul. In the helix ends tab, select flat option at stat and end. Set 90 degree at transition angle and flat angle.
