detailed thread problems

(OP)
Can they be created using a non-standard minor diameter? I tried it and
the results were truly bizarre. Can one add an edge blend (or would a face
blend be better?) to the base of a "tooth" or for that matter, can one add
a chamfer to the top of the tooth? I'm doing an external thread and it comes to
a very thin end and won't let me do these thingsf. Not sure how to get this to work.
TIA

RE: detailed thread problems

Can you provide some more details as to the parameters used, or better yet, a sample part file?

RE: detailed thread problems

(OP)
I've gotten it to work for the most part. I created a PMI section view of the the threads but I'm not sure how to dimension the thread's minor diameter. I mean, I can do a diameter dimension but it shows up perpendicular to the plane that I want to see it on. I also need to dimension to the theoretical "corners" at the top of the threads where the chamfer is. I can't submit anything, it's not allowed.
