Problem with thread creation

[Anonymous]

Hi!
I'm attempting to create a threaded hole, but I can't seem to find the option for size that I need (23x1), as the only options available are 22mm and 24mm.
Is there any way to create one using the intermediate size?

Thanks a lot 🙂

Hi @Anonymous

welcome to the Fusion forum.

There is a "Non Standard Thread" improvement on IdeaStation, you can give it a vote to help make this feature available in some of the Fusion updates.

there is also a comment from our Autodesk employee about the work around:

There is a way to accomplish your purpose:

1. go to thread data folder--> [Fusion install path]\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration\ThreadData

2. make a copy of the thread family that you want to customize, for instance: "ACMEScrewThreads.xml" copy to "MyThread.xml"

3. open the "MyThread.xml", change the "<Name>ACME Screw Threads</Name>" to "<Name>My Customize Threads</Name>"(any name is ok, just make sure it is unique)

4. define thread shape for your customize thread: add "<ThreadForm>0</ThreadForm>" under the <ThreadType>, 

        0----trapezoid; 1----sharp; 5----square; 7-----withworth

     if you don't add this, default shape is trapezoid

5. now you can customize anything, including the pitch/diameters...

Please note:

•  If you create a thread by your customize file, and save the f3d document, and open it on other machine, when other people try edit the thread, he will get an error message "...the current thread family has no suitble type..."
• If you directly change a standard thread type, and create a thread save to f3d document, when other people open it on their machine, recompue or edit the thread will get back to standard shape.

Hope it helps.
