Threaded holes?

marty_smith037

Ive been trying to produce some threaded holes, but there is no tool built into OnShape for it. You can get one in the "add custom features" thing, but none of the 5 I tried have worked; Ive seen vids of someone going the long way around and using sweep to carve out a helix on a shaft to produce threads, but there has to be an easier way to do this.

Thoughts?

Using this feature by @dave_cowden will create what you want:

Ive tried the thread creators. They dont seem to do anything at all. Maybe they work on shafts only? Frustrating stuff.

Is that one that comes up in "add custom features" when you search "thread creator"? Ive tried a few of those. Not working.

They work - share an image or video of what you are trying to do, or better still, share the URL to your doc and somebody will help you.

Yeah, help us help you.   Which script have you tried? What's failing? Provide link to public document, provide marked up screen-grabs  etc.  With respect what you've done so far is go to the doctor and say, "I'm ill, how do I be not ill?"  There are a bunch of helpful folks here but you need to give them something to work with.
