Ive added a hole, threaded hole and a tapered hole.

Is there anyway of adding a Taper Thread i.e. NPTs ??


TIA Milkboy

The only way I have found to do this is to first create a hole using the cutout command. Then thread the hole you just created.

As far as I know there is no way to create a tapered hole, like an NPT, using just the thread command. If anyone has an easier way to do this please speak up.
 
In SE v9 the solution of James is OK.

In v10; there are a picture when I inserted a thread, for this is necessary activate view colors in part
 
silasSE,

I do currently run v10 and have not figured out how to do this other than the way I described.

Could you give a step by step on what you do. I am sorry to say that I am having a hard time following your post to figure out what you are doing.
 
Hi, Milkboy

Could you show me an example of how you create threads in SE with VB?

thanks
Mlody
