Experiencing problems with creating threads

[Anonymous]

How do I build the outside thread on this oiler cup? It keeps wanting to thread the ID. 

Thanks.

You are right, something is wrong! Maybe @jeff_strater will be able to help.

It looks like the thread tool will not let you selected a tapered cylinder. Change the angle below to 90° and it works. If you need a tapered thread you could use coil and construct it.

Mark, that was a good catch 🙂

can you illustrate how to go back and change this dimension to 90 degrees.  Im doing something else wrong.  once I change it, the time line won't allow me to change where I am at in the drawing.

Use the Origin geometry whenever possible.

You wouldn't walk out to the shop floor and start machining this part from any location in space.

First thing you do is set up your origin.

I guess you've not found the help, it is quite well hidden unfortunately!

How to edit sketch

Use Geometry Constraints in preference over angle 90° dimensions.

You guys are so awesome. 

I appreciate your patients with my dumb questions.

@TheCADWhisperer How are you getting the diameter option, if I right click a dimension I don't have that option.

Right click edit.

Right click while applying dimension

There are no dumb questions only dumb answers 😉

[HughesTooling]

@TheCADWhisperer OK figured it out you don't pick the line you're dimensioning you pick the 2 lines it's joined to.

Edit Or a line and a point.
