Thread milling fault post update?

Since the last update all my previous and new files that were working perfect now DONT work.

 

Error warning is: Toolpath is not supported for the given Tool or settings"

 

I have tried all different tools, changed their dimensions etc etc. No threading seems to work.

 

Regards

Bert

Update must have added restrictions on what tool can be used to threadmill. Selecting "Flat-endmill" and dimensioning to mimick the real Single Point Threadmill, now works.
Please Fusion Team just add a threadmill tool or custom tool option. Kind of makes sense given you have the 2D Threadmilling option to start with.

Yeah, I thought I was losing my mind. Did what I always do, made a 60 deg dovetail cutter. Now I get an error saying it's not the proper tool. No sh!t. I use that because you've not given me the proper tool.

Went through my older files, just to double check what I've done and yeah, those don't work either.

What bwrusa33 mentions does the trick though....for now....

Good. Fast. Cheap. Pick two.

Here is a sneak peek into the future :winking_face:  Thread mill is coming.

Will the new thread mill work with NPT threads or will we still be stuck with the flat end mill workaround?

Will the thread mill support single flute tools, or only full form, in terms of simulation?

If single flute is now supported, will that open up the discussion for double angle chamfer tools (tools that cun cut on either top or bottom)

Nice. Thanks for your work on this. I assume a box for tip degrees so it calculates the cutting tip as the contact point?
