Look at the bottom of this page... Tip 835.  It tells you.  You download the .lsp (LISP) file.  Then you use the APPLOAD command to load it.  Then you run it like any other command by typing SPIRAL on the command line.

You have to load the 2 lsp files : 3DSPIRAL.lsp AND SOL_SPRING.lsp.
Then you launch the command 3DSPIRAL to create the centerline of your spiral with the dimensions asked by AutoCAD, then you launch the command SOL_SPRING to create your 3D volume with the dimensions asked by AutoCAD.
It's possible to create a modifiable spiral with the command HELIX by openning the properties panel.
On that helix you can use the command EXTRUDE to create your volume along the path defined by the  helix ( that 3D volume is not modifiable with the properties panel ).
Ask form more.

Create the 3D spiral specifying the base and top radius.  However, when it comes to height make this "0" which should give you a flat 2D spiral.
