The picture in my mind is that in reality you start with a piece of shafting, turn down the area on either side of the splined area in the middle, then cut the splines on a hobbing machine. This would be like a transmission shaft with a gear splined to the middle. If that's the picture, then to do it in SW, follow the same path - make the full shaft, turn the ends, cut the spline profile. Come back with more explanation or some kind of picture if this isn't enough help.
