Threading on ST
Threading on ST
(OP)
So very basic question that is driving me crazy. I have a part with an external thread, yet I cannot find the thread command. Tried the command search, nothing. Looked up on the internet and saw a YouTube video of having a drop down menu under the Hole command with a thread command. Mine doesn't have this menu.
Kind of at a loss because I can't figure out how to thread, a basic knowledge you would think.
Thanks

Once a part is in sync mode that's it, no going back.

RE: Threading on ST
If you have access to ST2 the only reason to not switch immediatly to ST2 is the fact that ST3 will be out in about a month and distributed here in around 6 weeks or so. ST2 is MUCH better than ST1 and ST3 will make a believer out of those still hanging on to traditional for whatever reason. I have had the pleasure of seeing ST3 and all serious complaints I know of are addressed. There will be no reason to foot drag on ST3 unless you as a company are in the middle of a project with no time to switch over. And if you have access to ST2 and are still on ST1 you are missing out on much better functionality.
RE: Threading on ST
Well, that would be the main reason we're still on V19 - never a good time to switch because there's always some project at a critical stage.

RE: Threading on ST
I know backwards looking management that insists on insufficient staff and loves crisis management can be a huge road block to moving on but they will be foolish if they do not do so for ST3.
RE: Threading on ST
Traditional mode is still there so you can carry on using your existing methods.
Having said that, there is a loss in productivity as you learn the new interface (and even afterwards in my opinion)
I think it takes 2-3 weeks to learn the new interface properly, but some new functionality will make it worthwhile.
The company I work for is still using V20, and they are owned by Siemens (work that one out!!) but are apparently moving to ST2 in about a month's time.

RE: Threading on ST
The biggest single issue I have with ST is that when it does fail WHY? You can spend way to much time trying to figure things out and the error messages given are really useless in telling you how to fix the problem. This is the largest area of time wasting and it will be a big one until you work with it enough to understand the limitations. It's more than just the ribbon bar junk that you will have to learn and I can assure you it will be more than 2 to 3 weeks before you get the hang of it.
I wish I could talk to you about the features of ST3, which is where your company probably should start with Synch if they are going to switch at this time. ST3 rollout should start around mid October and if they can wait for that to see the new version next to ST2 I think they would be well rewarded. All the beta testers were leaving Huntsville with smiles on their faces if that is any hint as to what is to come.

Or I suppose they could add to their IT department to support legacy applications;-]

Support for the older OS's gets harder because like lapuser said, Microsoft is dropping support, hardware vendors are not supporting older drivers (I think dell said they would stop in Dec), and Win7 supports new graphics options.
