I'm trying to create a custom Square thread and have followed the instructions on how to create an xml file.
Here is an example of the xml I made. It works when I do an external thread but when doing an internal thread , nothing changes. No thread shows in the drawing. Photo is below also. Appreciate any help.
Thread is a square thread , 10 deg wall angle, 4 TPI. Depth is only .031 instead of standard P/2 depth
