Hi all,

I am trying to add threads to a cylinder but when I go through the steps I am not finding anything in the Type: dropdown box in the parameter step. Any ideas?  

RE: Standard Threads

(OP)
I should have also said that these are straight threads, not tapered. i am looking for a 4 1/2-12 UN thread in the option box, but nothing appears.

RE: Standard Threads

For an internal thread - On the hole options dialog set the units to inches -you should then be able to find it.
For an external thread - on the thread parameters step set the thread units box to inches.

Thanks all. I am not sure what I did the first time but it now works.
