threadmodeler internal threads

[chris58]

I know Autodesk does not support this...  But has anyone been able to get internal threads with threadmodeler??  I'm getting external threads no problem, but can't get internal.

Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!

Chris

Using IV2016 and threadmodeler 2016 16.1.30.0

from the comments on the download page for that addin

Unfortunately for female threads it takes the major diameter of the modeled thread 
as the minor diameter of the female thread form leaving you with a drastically 
undersized unusable female thread for 3D printing.

So it seems it works just not how it should..

Never tried it though as I never 3d print threads

Problem I'm having is it's not even recognizing the feature.  I select an internal thread (in the history tree), and it should show up in the threadmodeler dialog.  But instead, nothing...

I just downloaded it and now see how it works..

It only works for holes created with the "thread" feature.. Not the hole command tapped hole command.

So either extrude cut to create a hole then thread or use the hole command (simple hole option) then the thread tool and then you can use the coolorange thread modeler
