How to draw a thread with a tooth profile ??

[Kimo05]

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 !!

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 [highlight #CC0000][highlight #FCE94F]ORIENTATION METHOD[/highlight][/highlight] [highlight #CC0000][/highlight]tab.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Kapil
