I am trying out the Coolorange thread modeler and it seems to be ok. I know there are plenty of ways to do this either through 3rd party extensions / plugins or services, but, I just cannot believe that this isn't a stock standard feature of Inventor, it really should be.
Fusion 360 have modeled thread functionality by default on the box (without extension or plugins). Why Inventor still not have this?
To design plastic parts cast on molds, not enough thread symbols in the drawing, need geometry (surface) for the matrix. Not always, but often the design requires standard threads. EVERYTHING about THEM is KNOWN.
It is very strange...
These little things accumulate like an annoying poison in the engineer's heart, I'm disappointed.
The Apps "supporting" the lack of this feature doesn't work any more and/or have problems and/or we need to wait the 3rd parties to release them for the next version of Inventor. coolOrange has its own problems now. We cannot afford to rely upon a vendor which is small and focused elsewhere.
It is disappointing that Inventor doesn't have it today when the additive manufacturing is a huge market.
Fusion 360 does an incredible job of modelling threads... please just copy the 3D output from there.. I'm not certain on the UI side of things though. I think the Hole UI is better in Inventor... the thread UI should probably match that.
We desperately need this for 3D printing. I have used the Cool orange plug in but it only works for basic threads and requires an awkward workflow for threading holes. Currently its easier to open the part in Fusion to add threads prior to printing.
and yes there is an app/plugin, there is only one. BUT I want it in the native software and with all the standarts (ISO, UNF, etc..) PLEASE!
In 2018, all industrials are using 3D printing, 3D CAD softwares MUST up to date. that all! We are talking about an about 2000€/year software not a free one. And it's possible beacause a free plug-in can do it.
But users seems to be happy with an half app/plug-in (not all the standarts), I don't think Autodesk will up a little finger to introduce it in the next release 😞
note : coolOrange - Thread modeler is a very good plug-in I didn't say the opposite. Good job!
CoolOrange thread modeler isn't working for me in Inventor 2019. Modeled thread functionality is desperately needed, we use it all the time for printed parts, but sending files to SW or F360 for threads is getting old. Plus the wide variety of profiles and ease of parameter adjustment for threads in SW make it very nice.
I just went thru the Coolorange add-in for a 1" NPT thread that I need, because I'm basically 3D printing ALL my parts now for fit check (and many of them are staying 3D printed and not CNC'd).
It's less than ideal, as I had to fill the existing NPT hole feature, extrude a new one that was tapered, add the thread feature, do the coolorange thing, then chop off the extra threads because my hole depth was only 15mm and the threads come in at 25.006mm.
So now instead of 1 feature for an NPT hole, my tree has 7.
This is a band-aid and not a legitimate solution. Please add this feature.
My idea is different from this. I don't know who combined these ideas. When you look at my iLogic it is for drawing. This theme is for a model. Can anyone explain it to me? Why were ideas merged that have nothing in common?
Thanks for exploring. To be precise, the ideas are from marthall. I only added comments and specified the procedure. I have verified the function for version 2021. So far, the function is not available. The solution is iLogic code. That's enough for me. Just not all users know that it can be changed with this code.
Time-Saver/Productivity Idea/Inventor Stomps Competition - How much time do we spend on figuring out threads so we can 3D print a prototype part (rhetorical)? I currently have a non-standard/non-standard thread to model. Non-standard for Inventor but also non-standard for the industry: 1 5/8 - 16 BUTT-2A-RH. I need the mating 2B thread also. Idea sequence after selecting Thread Button: 1.) Select the surface/face. 2.) Select the Thread TYPE, SIZE (auto-input from the surface/face), PITCH, CLASS & DIRECTION. 3.) Select Thread DEPTH & OFFSET. 4.) Select whether the thread is a simplified or modeled by clicking the correct CHECK BOX.
Just came here looking exactly for this. I'm using 2021 and just needed a fully modeled thread for a 3D printed project. No problem, I go and get the coolOrange Thread Modeler add-in from the store and install it. Hmmm, doesn't work. Turns out 2020 will be the last supported version. We need the ability to have fully modeled/functional threads easily within Inventor. At a bare minimum, please add the feature that is available in Fusion 360. I ended up using Fusion to remodel my part with threads.
@Daniel.SponholzQJA9W I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this would be a great advantage over other CAD modelers and a real boost in the right direction for 3D printing. This would put Inventor above the rest. If coolOrange can do it, then so can we.
I've recently been working through the "Tutorial Gallery" and discovered the power of Inventor in "Design Accelerator" features, not to mention the "Frame Generator". Wow! Knowing this power, it makes me hope that there could be a Design Accelerator for all types of threads (Thread Modeler). The gear modeling is amazing so you're almost there!
Thread modeler from Cool Orange doesn't work in Inventor 2021. I would like to have some tool which will generate a real thread (3D thread). It would help a lot in usual design process, also in 3D-printing of part with the thread. Thank you 😃
