Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Sketch >> Top plane.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw a polygon with circle of 17mm dia and a circle of 20mm dia.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Extrude it by 10mm.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Sketch >> Right plane.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   While taking the edges as the references Draw a Triangle with angle of 30º.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Revolve it about the center axis with remove material.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   For other side repeat the same operation.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Insert >> Helical Sweep >> Cut.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Click Done.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Select Right plane.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Click Okay and then default.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Now we have to define the sweep profile i.e. the profile along which the helix will be generated.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Draw a center line about the horizontal axis.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Draw this line at 9.5mm to horizontal axis.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Exit the sketch and input pitch value = 2.5mm. Click OK.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Now draw the Cutting profile. This be Iso triangle.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    Exit the sketch and the material direction be inside.
    

    

18. Step 18:

    Click OK. Now we have the nut generated.
    

    

19. Step 19:

    If you want to add a chamfer to the edge after helical cut operation, drag the insert here above the cut id.
    

    

20. Step 20:

    Now create the chamfer on the edges.
    

    

21. Step 21:

    Drag the insert here back to below the cut id.
    

    

22. Step 22:

    We have the nut generated.
