male threat

wbuscher

Hello,
I want to design a male threat. for example on a screw. But i dont want it for eye candy but for defining it in the drawing. just like the female threat.
Can you give me a hint how to create the male threat? I can not find the way to design the male one.

@wolfgang_buscher, I agree. Standard external threads with drawing notes would be useful. But until OS implements something like that, you'll just have to settle for manually typing in the thread specification into a text note.

Hello!

This is a video for creating a thread in Onshape. This is a great tech tip!

You can also use a custom feature. This is a link to the "Thread Creator" custom feature.

Regarding "male threat", I thought someone was going to file another harassment claim

Also, I'm sure someone will chime in anytime now about how modeling threads is almost never necessary, especially if all you need is a drawing note that calls out the thread spec.

Yes, thats correct. i don´t want modeling threads.
I like to have a simple tool that defines an external thread, without modelling it. Just as it is possible with drillings. But for screws / outside threads. So that the threat is drawn correctly in the drawing.

in the image:
left side: outside thread,
right side: inside threat. 

that is a standardized drawing rule. I wonder why this function does not exist in OnShape.
