Real Thread Modeled

[admaiora]

Maybe there are already similar ideas..

But.

If you want a real modeled thread in Inventor what do you do?

1- you have to model it by yourself (sketch...coil/sweep, etc)  (

2- you have to use a third part app called "coolOrange threadModeler". (

But...why?

We (I) would like to see this!

There's a twist to this topic done before but for the wrong reasons. 

My idea/request is to be able to do modeled threads f or the purpose of 3D print the model with actual threads. 

As for now this is  a pain in the rear to do and time consuming.

Greateful for comments and ideas about this topic that I feel only will be more and more important.

There is the ThreadModeler from the Autodesk Exchange App store, it's free.

User would like to see the hole command have the option to model threads as features, in addition to the visualization that currently exists today.

[Marco.Takx]

In the Exchange App is a add-in available to generate a visual tread of the the thread you have made by the thread feature.

Unfortunately, not all variants are supported.

I would like to change setup for thread feature in drawing views in the template.

To day default is off.

Hi all,

good idea. Thumbs up. Setting the template and Application Options or together choice

You have outstripped me with this topic  🙂

provisional solutions:

I'm not happy the user to change the values in registers. We have about 20 licenses and change the registry on every computer that is not good. Primarily turned on by a thread assembly drawings,It is important. It would prefer settings this Application Options.

I don't understand what's stopping you guys to set it in the template....???

Why do you need to have it in the settings to overcomplicated menus and fiddle with registry settings?

This is possible OUT OF THE BOX, don't understand why this is on idea station in the first place?

Open the template "standard.idw" place a view and change the settings while placing or afterwards. Then delete the view and save the template.... to make this settings persistent.

I would not like to complicate my settings with all this.

[dusan.naus.trz]

for salariua

It does not work on assembly.

if you work it, send idw. After inserting the assembly, he must show thread

This is provisional solution, the only option is

@dusan.naus.trz I am yet to be proven wrong. I have tested this in Inventor 2015 and 2016 assemblies and parts. Restarted inventor and the settings are persistent.

Start a discussion on forum general and I will prove the case !

I have nothing against improving Inventor but what I don't want is to clutter the settings and overcompliacte them to a point where we would need config files and variables like in ProE or AutoCAD.

This Idea doesn't stand. Yes there might be bugs but they are just that, bugs.

Hi all.

I agree with user nausd. 

[marek_szturc]

I agree with user nausd ((Posted ‎08-23-2015 03:39 AM))

[petr_nohal]

I too agree with user nausd ((Posted ‎08-23-2015 03:39 AM))

[petr_nohal]

Thumbs up. Good idea marthall

[michal_wiselka]

Thumbs up. Good idea

[douthett]

This would be nice if you can keep the size of the file down.  If you can't then this would case problems especially when dealing with large assemblies.

I agree with user nausd

Temporary solution. Using ilogic. Thanks to Przemek Sokołowski.

  Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
    oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
 
    Dim oSheet As Sheet
    oSheet = oDoc.ActiveSheet
   
    For Each oDrawView In oSheet.DrawingViews
   
        oDrawView.DisplayThreadFeatures = True
   
    Next

Fusion360 can do this, but Fusion360 is Autodesk's terrible forced cloud app, I'm not going to pay for a subscription to both apps just to be able to actually model a thread for 3D printing. Some product continuity would be fantastic Autodesk.

[MrBrodie]

Fusion 360 gives the user the option to have cosmetic or modeled threads, why not Inventor? At the very least have an option to model threads on export to mesh so threads can be 3D printed. Some continuity between products would not hurt.

[jingyi.liu]

Thanks for your feedback, modeled thread is a request has been aware.  Noticed that you also know Fusion 360 well,  have you tried the thread modeler provided by Coolorange? It knows Inventor thread feature and produce modeled thread automatically. It's also great example to show micro services for Inventor. Below is the webpage.
