Modeled Threads are not being exported

[larrydudek]

Just updated to the latest version of F360. I noticed the location of the Thread Modeling box has been moved from the hole dialog to the document setting tab.  Now when I turn on Model threads they show up on the display on but do not appear in the exported model. Tried turning Modeling on and off, rebooting F360, changing threads.  

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

The modeling thread selection checkbox is still in the Hole Tool dialog, the one in the Browser under Document Settings has been there along.  You say you are exporting but you failed to say to what file type or for what purpose?

The modeled thread switch is still on the Hole dialog (when a threaded hole type is selected):

Yes, there is a toggle under document settings (has been there for many years).  In the attached design, I toggled this to "modeled", and exported the body as a mesh.  The modeled threads looked OK to me:

model and exported STL are attached.  If you are still having problems, please record a screen video, and share your model.  Thanks

I think I found a bug, the problem only occurs with Taper Threads.  If I go back to straight threads the Moldeled box comes back and I can select and export the mesh.  If I set the checkbox on the straight thread dialog box and go back to taper it still doesn't export the tapered thread.

Here's the file, try to export a tapered hole.

Fusion today does not support modeled tapered threads.  Modeled option is only available for non-tapered threaded holes.

Thought that might be the case. Thanks for the help.
