2D Profile cutting with a helical stepdown - Fusion

I am trying to cut a profile and I want to cut the profile using a finishing cycle with no lead in or out just a helical cycle going down at a 1 deg angle. I do not want to cut from the solid but from its silhouette. I have stock surrounding the part I am machining that will be left over after i am done. I have only found something in the 2D contour cycle but it steps down and no option to do a helical path.

2D Profile with no multiple stepdowns, no lead ins, and a ramp of 1 degree. It will ramp down to the bottom and then one loop at 0 degrees to finish off.

 

I wouldn't refer to this as helical unless the feature is actually cylindrical, in which case you would just use the Bore toolpath instead.
