Ah ok thanks. Yes other thread forms are on my radar. Whitworth was not but I can add it.
Tapered threads are not easy to add, which is why I don't have them now . There are a lot of questions because of the taper. For example, if we start with a cylinder, is it the inner is the outer diameter? Do we allow users to selected thread length? If so, what happens if the thread taper means that the objects becomes larger or smaller than the original cylinder?
I will add this to my thread creator to do list. I have a number of other projects at the moment so I do not expect to work on this soin., But I will get there eventually.
Thanks again for reaching out!
