Large OD Threads

Hello,

 

I am currently reverse engineering a relatively big shaft. There is a bearing location and a section for a lock nut, Nut SKF N44, OD=8.628in, 8 threads/in.

 

If I go CREATE->THREAD, the OD is too big for the existent OD numbers already in the system.

 

Is there a way for me to add or create this "custom" thread?

 

Thank you.

If you search the forum for custom threads you'll find plenty of information on creating your own.

If this answers your question please mark the thread as solved as it can help others find solutions in the future.

I've created a Windows application (and now Mac as well) for creating custom thread files for Fusion. You can find out about it here. Hope you find it useful.
If you need to know how to offset threads for 3D printing then I've created a guide here which you might find useful.
If you would like to send me a tip for any help I've provided or for any of my software applications you've found useful, you can do this via my Ko-Fi page here.
