Hi @Anonymous

Thank you for contacting Autodesk community forum.

As you said "any help on how to replicate this screw?" - does this mean you want to modeled this 2d drawing in 3d cad model? It can do it in Design work space of Fusion 360.

If the file is in DXF DWG, image format you can insert it in Fusion 360.

Hope this is helpful. Or please explain the exact requirement with the help of sample file.

Thanks,

Hey ,

This forum is for discussions about Fusion 360's collaboration tools. I'm moving this post to the Design Document Validate forum where you'll be more likely to get some help.

Hmm, it doesn't look like the actual query survived the move...

I think this is close. Use Revolve as the main feature. Create a sketch:

Then do a full revolve around the center line:

add the end hole:

add the end chamfers:

add the chamfer at the end of the hole:

finally, add the center hole. I assume it is in the middle:

final result:

result is attached

I don't like using the Hole tool very much. I'll avoid it for simple stuff like this, and just draw the hole into my sketch as required.

Also, I know my sketch is more complicated than necessary, having drawn the entire profile instead of just the half required for Revolving, but sometimes it's nice just to have the whole thing for visual reference and avoid figuring half values.

It is not standard practice to dimension depth to the drill point - that is a artifact of the tool.

The standard practice is to dimension the cylindrical depth.

Appreciated, but the OP's drawing dimensioned to the point and did not dimension the included angle, so I used the dimension and plugged in an arbitrary angle. The desired cylindrical depth was unknown to me.
