v28 still missing thread modeling (Alibre note - added in v29 :)

And here's an @Ex Machina video showing another method for creating a tool box part for threading with a Boolean feature.

If you intended to supply a link to the video, you did not. I would like to see it.

I think it is this one.

@Ex Machina has lots of great content.

You can start with this one first for completeness. I have omitted some details in that video and reference back to this one:

Thank you! this is a great tool!

Yes it is. I have taken the stuff from @Ex Machina and created taps and dies for metric, imperial and ACME threads. I don't have the need to produce actual threads very often but when I do this saves me a ton of time.

While its not exactly as integrated of a tool as you might like, you could use Toolbox to create an internal thread plug.

You would then just design your parts with a blank hole and insert the plugs later in an assembly.

Its definitely a work around for an integrated thread cutting tool, but this could save you a lot of time depending on the part geometry.

Hope it helps!

Using a spreadsheet and Toolbox for creating an internal thread? How does that work? I noticed the parameter boxes are grayed out or not available.
I was desperately hoping this would be possible in 28.02 but, noway. Or did I overlooked something?
See below: Where to fill out the parameter?

I may be mis-understanding your question, but surely you just check the 'modeled' box?

Have you seen the video on modelled threads?
