How to draw a thread with a tooth profile ??

How to draw a thread with a tooth profile ??

How to draw a thread with a tooth profile ??

(OP)
I have a tooth profile and I want to sweep it along the helix to form the thread but there is something wrong ...cause the profile rotates with the helix !!

RE: How to draw a thread with a tooth profile ??

Hi Kim0,
What sub-option did you use while sweeping it? if using SWEPT then Use VECTOR DIRECTION (and specify the axis of the helix as the vector direction) in the ORIENTATION METHOD tab.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Kapil
