Just a basic question I'm seeming to run into - Apparently "ACME"-style threads are not available in Inventor 2012??

Don't you mean ASME? If so they coincide with ANSI which are there.

Ray,
Fair enough. I was just checking.
Then the short answer is "No". You are going to have to create your own thread.

OK - Thanks! Hopefully this is something that will be in the future or just got overlooked?? It's a fairly common usage thread type - think of those feed screws w/ the round spinning turnhandles you find on A LOT of larger shop equipment....
For ACME thread type I like actual modeled threads rather than cosmetic representation.
I made an iPart with commonly used sizes.
We were just using this this morning in Dynamic Simulation to demonstrate use of the Screw Joint type.
Not sure what version of Inventor you have but here's a modified Inventor 2018 thread xls file with ACME info in it.

@Mark.Lancaster, I'll be making use of this as well. We use ACME threads occasionally, but infrequently enough that I had never gotten around to adding them to the thread spreadsheet.
My thread.xls already has some other customizations, so I'll have to transplant your data into it. But this will save me some time digging up all the information and typing it in. Thanks for posting it.
