  • Yet another thread/sweep question

    Hi team! I've been successful in the past creating custom threads using a helix, a profile and the Sweep tool. This time however, the sweep renders correctly but shows as an error / invalid geometry. What should I check to make it generate properly? Here's a link to the doc if it…

  • Thread function

    When is there going to be a thread function for holes or shafts?

  • Can't select anything but the Origin.

    Hi, I am new to Onshape, I have Solidworks experience but it has been a few years since I have worked with it. I think I have forgotten more than I seem to remember. I am making a very simple ball socket but can't create a profile for the Helix because I can't seem to select anything except the Origin when any sketch tool…

  • Helix and Sweep Problems

    I have a helix on a cylindrical surface. Then there is an equilateral triangle attached to the helix. The triangle's lateral length is the same as the helix's helical pitch. That should be enough to cut a thread... BUT: Using the same lateral lenght for the triangle and at the same time for the helical pitch does not work…

  • 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?

  • Need a tip on threads: how do I extend to the ends of a rod without a massive chamfer?

    threading a rod or cylinder, the helix ends at the ends but the threading needs to go past that or else i end with blind pockets.
