filjoa Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 hi my ingles .... I asking if some one have templates for this... Quote
stevsmith Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I am guessing that english is not your first language. That is fine. Are you looking for 3d models of screws or just images showing screws? Quote
filjoa Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 Hi my 1º language is Portuguese I looking for 3d models of screws in .dwt for make more easy diferents screws. and example: for start work more easy in 3d on AutoCAD I use template acadiso3D.dwt Quote
ReMark Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Well I don't you'll find anyone creating template files for 3D solid fasteners. But there is this: http://www.cwattsdesign.com/ Look at the program 3DSolid Fastener Library. Quote
filjoa Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 Hi I know make screws on Inventor but now I like try make this on autocad but is very dificult male one... because that I ask if have some template or libery with screws. but thanks for explanations Quote
ReMark Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 There are a number of good tutorials about making 3D bolts/screws using plain AutoCAD. Just Goolge "autocad"+"3D"+"screw". Links to a few of these tutorials have been posted here in the past. Use the Search feature above and don't forget to check out similar posts as indicated below. Quote
stevsmith Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 There is a tutorial on this link. JD mather has good tutorials that cover alot of common things. http://home.pct.edu/~jmather/content..._Tutorials.htm Quote
filjoa Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 hi this manual is great... thanks but on pag 4, point 5, when I make "RMB select turn Height and enter a height of 1.5 for the pitch of the thread" this is type of screw? on Portugal is comun have M2, M3, M4, M5,... this 1.5 is the same? what is measures of triangle? regards Quote
JD Mather Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 on Portugal is comun have M2, M3, M4, M5,... Same here. The M2, M3... indicates the diameter of the thread. this 1.5 is the same? Is the pitch - the distance from one crest to the next. Standard thread specifications. what is measures of triangle? 60°, 60°, 60° x the pitch by the depth indicated in Machinery's Handbook reference. Request the file and you can measure everything yourself. You should have a reference book by your side. I know make screws on Inventor... If you have Inventor I would make an iPart and then simply change the specs as needed for each size. If you need as dwg then simply go to Applications>AEC Exchange and Save As DWG Solids. Far far easier in Inventor, pure torture in AutoCAD if you need more than one size. Quote
filjoa Posted June 25, 2009 Author Posted June 25, 2009 Hi thanks for this information about transfer an inventer file to autocad, I don't know this option... kind regards Quote
JD Mather Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Hi thanks for this information about transfer an inventer file to autocad, I don't know this option... kind regards After giving it a bit more thought - even easier, simply use the Content Center fasteners rather than creating an iPart. Create an iFeature of a thread and then as you need any particular fastener replace the CC cosmetic thread with the iFeature thread feature. Quote
