Are you saying you don't know how to use the program provided by scj?

In my test of the program it appears to run on its own.  I think the user can change the accuracy, height, and radius by editing these parameters found within the body of the code.  

(setq acc 10000)
(setq height 100.0)
(setq radius 100.0)

Using the presets I got the following results (plan view / SE isometric view):

Yes John and Jochen, I don't know how to use the program.

See my post that is just above yours.

You do know how to load a custom lisp program don't you?

OK John, I have seen the result and I don't know how to use the program ( and also how to make a lisp file but I use some that where given to me ).
I'm a basic designer ( with some age and experience in my specific work ) but I don't know about programs.
I have learned 3D on my own with the AutoCAD printed book ( R13 year 1995 ) and PDF books from AutoCAD 2006 to 2012.
Jochen, I have some problems with the connection with the site www.black-cad.de, maybe not allowed to reach here in my work.
The datas of the 2 HELIX that I want are in my AutoCAD drawing :
HELIX G1 : Radius 85 m , height of one complete turn : 121.76780370 m ( or 38.82315600 m for 114.77.858461° )
HELIX G2 : Radius 62 m , height of one complete turn : 91.54614061 m ( or 29.18488500 m for 114.76790316 ° )
In other words, could you do it for me in AutoCAD 2012 dwg file ?
 
N.B. I understand set height 100 , set radius 100 but I don't understand what is acc(uracy) 10000 ( is it the number of points of the helix ? )

The first step is to copy and paste the lisp routine into a text file that is created using any ASCII text editor like Notepad which comes standard with Windows.  Edit the code for the height and radius of your helix then save it as a .lsp file.  You can name the lisp file anything you like but make it something that will be recognizable.  You know how to do that right?

Yes John, now I will try and create that lisp file with a copy/paste of the text given by Jochen, thanks a lot.
I use some lisp files but I didn't create them.

Hi Philippe
can you send me your email-adress so I can do the HELIX-curves for you and explain the way how to use the LISP.
And - yes : "acc" is the accuracy.
This is the number for the points of the 3DSPLINE - i.e. a large number means a better approximation.
Good luck
Jochen

Here we are, also OK in the plan view.
I would have eventually questions about "vecteur de tangente" DĂ©part et Finale but it's already a miracle.
