  • New FeatureScript: Self-Reversing Screw (Level-Wind Screw)

    My first custom feature on Onshape! I always turn to generators like Thread Creator when designing things with screws, but I couldn't find one for a quick and easy level-wind screw. These things are popular for spool winders but they're also a neat way to get more out of a rotational axis. Most linear actuators use…

  • ThreadLab: Can't do a 0,75mm pitch (But can do 0,74 and 0,76!)

    I did a simple little cap for a connector, recently. It is to have a 0,75mm pitch thread on one end and I thought: Hey, easy going! But then: I cannot make it do a 0,75mm pitch, though it has no issues doing a 0,74mm or 0,76mm or whatever else I tried. Just no 0,75mm. What might be going on here?

  • Threads

    Why is it so hard to do a simple thread metric 20mm x1 ? I had to go back to F360 where it was easy Cheers

  • 是否可以增加螺纹的制作的功能？

    是否可以在3d建模过程中，制作外螺纹或者内螺纹？这个功能感觉很有必要！

  • FeatureScript for removing threads from imported parts?

    Is there an existing FS that can be used to remove threads from imported parts like bolts/screws and nuts to improve performance? Or has someone attempted this in the past and not succeeded?

  • How do I apply a callout for a threaded fastener, in a drawing

    (In a drawing, in Onshape) I need to specify the thread of a fastener (screw, bolt, threaded rod, stud, hanger bolt...) I am not interested in drawing a helix or something else, nor do I want to have a realistic look-a-like thread. What I need, is a standardized simplified representation of the thread, i.e.: that the…

  • New FeatureScript: Cosmetic Threads

    Hello Everyone, I'm releasing my first FeatureScript! Now you can create Cosmetic Threads in Part Studios: These threads are two helix edges which were created with sweep and split commands. Features: * Specify the pitch and the direction of the thread! * Shows in Part-Studios, Assembly and Drawing Tab! * Much faster than…

  • Help creating a thread (nut and bolt essentially) that aligns both parts when tightened

    i understand the male thread but i don't quite understand how to do a top down design scenario of a female thread yet. i wish to have two parts screw together and align on a thread in the same place. multiple different ends will be screwed on and i wish them to all fit tight on the same axis. i tried starting with a male…

  • Holes Wizard request

    Hello everyone! I'm a new OnShape user. Im very excited with this innovative project! Trying it with some designs, I note that no hole wizard have been developed. The lack of any automated tool for threaded/countersunk/counterbore standardized holes is a big obstacle to OneShape becoming my primary CAD soft. I hope this…

  • Thread Pitch w/ ThreadCreator Tool

    I'm a little confused regarding how to specify pitch. I'm not very knowledgeable in regards to thread but, I'm trying to make a square thread that has a pitch of 0.2 threads per mm (2 thread every 10mm). How would I achieve this with the thread creator tool?

  • Screw threads: Pitch vs Form

    In the official tutorial on helical screw threads, an equilateral triangle is used for the thread form. It says something to the effect of, "Make the length of the triangle slightly less than the pitch of the thread." How much less, exactly? Threaded camera lenses and accessories, over the years, have generally come with…
