creating external NPT

[c.plouffe]

We are trying to figure out how to create a external NPT on our model.

Hi @c.plouffe

Thanks for posting! The thread menu in Fusion 360 does not currently include NPT options, so you would need to model this thread manually. NPT threads are on the development teams roadmap for Fusion 360 - this has been discussed on this thread.

The resources below may help you approach creating custom threads in Fusion 360:

• Modeling custom threads
• Thingiverse: NPS Samples
• LarsLive: Sweeps and Custom Threads

I hope this helps you get started!

Where does one find the current roadmap?  I'm curious if external NPT threads are still being planned.  The thread above is locked.

yes, this needs to be addressed immediately.  It is ridiculous that with software as advanced as fusion 360 the only way to get modeled npt threads is by manipulating objects imported from mcmaster.  We live in the world of 3d printing and having modeled npt threads is a necessity.
