ThreadLab - Internal/External Modeled/Cosmetic Threads with External Thread Callouts

Lisa_Reisinger

This feature is really great - thanks a lot!

As the comment above, I would like to model pipe threads (NPT, BSP) too. Is there a chance you can add these to your feature, or is there perhaps an other feature for pipe threads?

I am trying to use ThreadLab for Internal threads, but it seems like it only "adds" threads to the hole. How can I get it to CUT threads? Thank you!!

+1 to this. The current setup leads to inaccurate hole callouts on the drawing views. As programmed, the drill size and depth instruction would eliminate the material needed to create the thread. Please consider adjusting your system to indicate the pilot drill diameter rather than the tap's major diameter.

cannot tap a 5/8-18 thread in a hole that has been drilled to 5/8" diameter:

Fantastic work on this feature,
Thank you so much for putting it out for everyone!

One useful future feature would be the ability to set specific/offset the starting rotational position of modelled threads.
