Detailed multi-start threads in NX6 1

[rdel]

I am trying to create a detailed multi-start thread in NX6 - is this possible? It isn't obvious from the main feature menus.
Thanks,
Richard

As far as I know there is no direct function to create multistart threads. I just model them, see attached

Thanks.
Unfortunately "a disk error occurred during a read operation" so am unable to open the attached file.
What modelling techniques do you use? How complex is it to do this?

Uploaded file again, give it a try again. It's not very difficult, a couple of sketches, a sweep, and a pattern face.

Had slightly more progress with that file - it recognised it, before declaring it was from a more recent version of NX and not opening. (Using NX 6.0.0.24)
Will start trying to build my own, but if there is a way I can re-appropriate an existing one, then that would save a lot of time which I would be very grateful for.

OK, I just threw this one together for an NX6 example. It's a 1/4-20 4 start thread.

Thanks very much for taking the time to do that for me! Appreciate it. Cheers.
