- you have to be kidding - this functionality was requested in 2014 and was expected to include MODELED threads and now you tell us that you will be providing a tapered hole and graphics and that this meets our requirement because of time constraints and that if we want more we should resubmit! The tapered hole has been in Fusion since countersunk holes was introduced - oh - wasn't that since conception! What we need is AD to stop playing games and accept that NPT (tapered threads) are real and necessary and apply the resources necessary to fix the problem. To ignore complete group of your business, ie., the 3D printer and the group that just wants it to be right will not enhance your followers and users. Lastly to expect that to gain this required and requested functionality we should REAPPLY is wrong. To acknowledge that for PHASE 1 you will provide a tapered hole and graphics followed by a concerted effort to model the thread is the ONLY solution.
Original request to add tapered threads to Fusion was posted in 2014. Just got another update in 2018, and still no tapered threads in the hole or thread tools.
Why is this taking so long. npt threads in the US are everywhere. not having a tool to create one (even though the thread/hole tools in other AutoDesk CAD software implement this) is really quite confusing.
Hey @dentontxtwu - Yes, we still read the Idea Station posts regularly! However, given the vast number of Ideas and different projects we're working on, we cannot respond to every single comment. That means we attempt to give periodic updates on any Ideas that that have recently hit a significant milestone. You may have missed my comments on the last couple pages of this Idea, but the summary is that we've begun development work on tapered threads (including NPT) and look forward to releasing the functionality once we get it to an acceptable state.
Its disturbing that this issue still exists - You are obviously skilled programmers - adding new threads is perhaps as easy as entering 5 parameters to a config file yet you refuse to add the ability to use 360 with industry standard pipes...
Hey @doug.sellner - I also feel your pain, and I wish this was as easy as "entering 5 parameters to a config file" but unfortunately it is not. I can assure you that we are working through the different aspects of this project and will release it once it is completed and tested.
Whether or not coding something to do exactly what you want how you want would be that easy it would be fully possible to use tools that F360 already has to accomplish this as we have been recommending for years. All you need is a preconfigured thread shape that you can assign to a point or surface then set the depth and then cut or add material to create the geometry. Now that you have threads in the hole feature it should be even simpler. Select point and it cuts or adds the tapered thread. You could litterally use the same process people have been using as a workaround for years but use a high quality proper thread geometry and integrate it into an automated process of selecting point, changing depth if needed and hitting ok. It's no wonder it takes 4 years to get the simplest things accomplished for F360 and why it is still almost as lacking in areas as it was 4 years ago. It seems like you guys go out of your way to try to come up with the most complicated, convoluted way to accomplish a task possible and half the time you remove functionality in doing so and take another 2 years to get halfway back to what it used to do.
I still don't see why it's so hard seeing that it's been in Inventor (graphic) for YEARS. We almost switched to fusion from Inventor entirely but the workflow is horrible compared to Inventor. All I use Fusion for now is CAM.
I can defiantly understand there being a delay to add thread pitch functionality if it wasn't already there, but the mechanism to add it is already there and so it's just defining what NPT looks like. You would assume 8 pages of people crying out for it would warrant addressing. maybe by 2020.
NPT threads are essential to our company and apparently most others. Please add them to Fusion 360. 4 years of requests and comments and it's still being worked on? That's not encouraging.
They don't?, they don't follow this post. The only time they post here is as after someone emails them referencing this thread . I've canceled my subscription for work and told them it was because how they have handled this matter and they had no reply . I can't wait till main stream media catches this thread . If it does .
Bumping this post in hopes this feature has a timeframe tied to it. Dying a slow death without this feature. Maybe I missed out on the private trial group?
