Check the Help for details of the Wrap function.

Also do a search here for Wrap.

I just started a new job that is mostly blow molded bottles. Most of my experience is inj. molding so I need to study more for this position and Wrap will be one of those new things.

I also need to learn how to put a thread on a bottle as well.

Try to persuade your employer to send you for SW training, or to purchase the i.get.it or SolidProfessor tutorials. Either one is money well spent.

Also working through the SW Online Tutorials should help.

You will need the Sweep function for the thread creation.

I have taken all of the training but quite a while ago. I've even gone to SW World but I haven't had to use many of the techniques.
