Thread display in drawing

Thread display in drawing

Thread display in drawing

(OP)
Hi,
I made a drawing of a worm shaft, but it turned out to be this
http://i.imgur.com/hdKkrf5.png

I don't want it showed like this, how do I change it to a engineering formation?
I have tried some ways searched on the internet, but it didn't work.

If anyone knows the problem, plz tell me.
Thanks.

RE: Thread display in drawing


search CATIA doc for threads in Part Design...

uh...search what?
I know there's a function "thread/tap" in part design, but the worm shaft wasn't made by it, that is why the drawing shows like a 3D projection.
catia only changes a product into engineering form when it was made by the function in Drafting, I guess.
So, I wonder a way to change the part automatically if the part wasn't made by thread function.
Actually, it's a worm, but I think there might be a function for it.

Thanks.

RE: Thread display in drawing

Hi nothingid,
I am not clear with your requirement.What exactly u want to show up in drafting? Please clarify.

Sudhakar.

RE: Thread display in drawing

Hi! @nothingid,

I guess you want to display the thread in the form of engineering drawing conventional representation..

I think it's not possible to have it without using the "thread/tap" function.

Since it is custom made by the user, i think it's not possible to display the thread convention..

Please correct me anyone who knows that this is possible..smile


Regards,
Himanshu

RE: Thread display in drawing

Drawing will represent 3D the way it is.

If you want Eng. representation of the thread in drawing, then you need it in 3D.

@hims1980
you're right, that's my point

ok, I got it, your opinions are helpful.
Thanks, you guys really nice.

RE: Thread display in drawing

Nothingid, what you are showing in your attachment is perfectly fine for an engineering drawing. Actually, for a special thread like a worm rack, having the true picture of the thread is preferred over the thread symbol that is typically used on machine bolts and nuts.

RE: Thread display in drawing

oh,I see. Maybe the true drawing of a worm is a better way.
Your suggestion is pretty good.
Thanks.
