External threading URGENT

External threading URGENT

External threading URGENT

(OP)
I have been given some drawnings to model and assemble.

How do i make an external threading with a size of M6*1.

The part will fit into a hole.  
 

 

RE: External threading URGENT

Search "threads" in the Help files.  You probably don't need to model the true helical threads, right--since the M6 callout would then be redundant.  If you really need the helical stuff, search for "sweep" and "helix" in Help.

RE: External threading URGENT

McMaster-Carr has great examples, you may even be able to use a screw right off their website.

RE: External threading URGENT

NUFCshearer,

   How good do these threads have to be?  Are you preparing a drawing with threading instructions, or is your solid model going to be used for manufacturing tooling?

RE: External threading URGENT

If you really don't need the threads, don't model them. It takes up a whole lotta space.

RE: External threading URGENT

(I guess it wasn't that urgent after all.)
