Thread on circular neck

ottmar_brandau

I am struggling to create a helix with a distinct shape to put a thread on a plastic bottle. The help file is not very helpful. Coming from Solidworks I can't find the right tools.

Curious - how 'distinct' of a shape are we talking about? Picture? Public document link? You might have to create 2 helices but hard to guess without more information.
