Drawing a thread in AutoCAD
Drawing a thread in AutoCAD
(OP)
Hi,
Does anyone have a routine for drawing a screw thread in AutoCAD? I have an AutoLISP routine for a coil but it won't draw a true thread shape easily.
Cheers in advance,
Chris.

Many more available if you use a search engine.
But I agree the plain jane 4-dashed line 2D version is the best all around way to draw a thread.
