To make it easier to crate threads that should match some predefined pitch, I suggest that the pitch of the helix extrusion can be entered in a text box for that group. The height of the helix can be set in the diagram. The current solution with free-hand twisting makes it hard to get a desired pitch.

This should be a "pitch" parameter in the text window for the group. That parameter would be used to constrain the helix angle and the length along the axis. distance = (angle/2pi) * pitch.
From an implementation point of view, I'm not sure what to do when the user doesn't specify a pitch value, or how to dynamically create or remove the constraint equation from the group when changed in the text window. For helix, the angle/2 is in param[3] and the distance in param[7].
@whitequark I'm really interested in how to do this. I know how to create an internal constraint when a group is created, but this one wants to be created afterword (and maybe deleted) when the user may have created others manually.
