Screw limitation?

ricardo_raimondoricardo_raimondo Member Posts: 37 ✭✭
I am trying to design an M3 screw 30mm long with 0.5 thread. I am defining the Helix for turns and pitch, but as soon as I set 50 turns or more, (which is less than the length of the cylinder extrusion), the Sweep goes on red, and the thread is not built. I think I should be doing something wrong but I am not able to figure that out. Can someone help me, please?

    Hello Ricardo. Perhaps I'm missing something. I tried iterations of 30 and 70 for the number of revolutions. The feature accepted both. - Scotty

    I’ve run into similar issues with sweeps along helixes in Parasolid before. Seems like you have it working now. Did you, by chance, scale the helix along its long axis?
