How many turns in your coil?

 

What is the radius of the inner and outer circles?

An example for you.

I neglected to mention one important fact. You have to use the FLATTEN command on your helix.

How can I make the coil line thicker? I am using the 2012 AUTOCAD version and this is my first time using AUTOCAD. Thanks. Amy

Not really. You can set the Turn Height to 0 for a coil during creation (or change it after the fact).

If you simply want the lineweight thicker - change that.

If you want solid use the polysolid command and give it the height and thickness.
