Thread - External thread in Welded assembly

Thread - External thread in Welded assembly

Hello,

I would like to have thread feature in the assembly environment. 

Thanks

Dan

The feature that you are requesting is just part of the problem. In a weldment all the features that are available in a model editing should be available.

Here's hoping it makes it into Inventor 2017...

This is also something that we would love to see at Parker Hannifin as well.

I would love to see a the "Thread" command in the weldment enviorment. Threading is often performed on parts after welding is done. I run into this limitation in Inventor at least once per week.

That explanation definitely makes sense, dbutler. You won me over, casting a kudo 🙂

Yes this would be extremly helful. We have parts with glass fused to metal that are threaded after this process. If we use a derived part the glass turns to a solid instead of being clear (like glass). We also have dozens of parts that are threaded after welding.

Yea, I'm using 2014 and I cannot believe this is not available in assembly.  It comes up very much at my place because machining a thread is a secondary operation which requires a different part number and drawing than the blank casted part.  The blank casted part has an insert put in at casting.  So thats one assembly.  Then the assembly gets machined. I mean any material removal should be available in assembly.

I have another scenario where thread has to be used in an assembly:

 

Got a ballscrew and a screw. I have to order the ballscrew with the screw assembled. If you screw the ballscrew of the thread the bearing will pop out the ballscrew. So I have to cut/drill the screw with the ballscrew still attached on it. The last feature is getting thread on the screw, well it seems inventor doesn't support that. Is it me or is this not a basic action?

Hello,

 

I need this feature

I have found that, as a fix, to take the weldment and derive it to a part (.ipt) to add the threads.

Deriving doesn't work for me in many instances as it turns my glass in my assembly into a solid which is not desired.

Hi,

And my partlist (bill of materials)?

This really should be added to the weldment environment. I am designing a shaft that will be welded together.  After the welding, oI just realized there needs to be threads on one end of the shaft.  I could derive the part, but since this is already in my assembly, when I do this, I will lose all the assembly constraints.  It would be so much easier to just be able to thread in the weldment.

Please add this!

Please don't only limit this desired functionality to just the weldment environment..

It should be supported in the regular assembly environment too..
