How do I create a thread on a a screw?

[ftkalcevic]

I'm not talking about a helical cut or sweep. I want something similar to a hole with a thread - something that displays as a cylinder, then will report the thread details when I create a drawing of it. Is there any way to do this?

You mean this?

Is that version 11? I'm still on 10. Unfortuantely the price for maintenance here in Australia is more than what I paid for the original Alibre Standard version, $US550. So I wont be upgrading for a while.

 

[Ralf]

Yes it is V11.1...

Btw.:Since when you out of maintenance? I suspect more than one year.

About 6 months. I paid for 1 year of maintenance to go from 9 to 10. Unfortantely for a standard user I didn't get much in the way of new functionality, and the application was still as buggy as ever. I'll wait for a stable version, then look at resuming maintenance.

Thanks for that. It works great. I would never thought of doing that.

Drop what? Did you read the posts? I was just answering a question. Are you trying to start something?

Don't take offence. The translation leaves some room for missunderstanding.

He means if this doesn't help then just ignore what he posted.

Oh, I forgot about your add-on, Toshi... sorry about that

 

[ftkalcevic]

I appologise to you Toshi. I can be hard to interpret the tone of a conversation on the web.

 

[wathavy4]

Oh?
You're welcome.

I tend to draw a lot of parts, particularly shafts with nasty shoulders everywhere as section views, then rotate them. Is there no way to use the V11.1 external thread cosmetic tool to detail them ? Looks like it HAS to be a boss extrusion for some God-forsaken reason.
