    I embedded the video in the post. Shows up on my end.

    Here's a direct link to it though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yncz5P9IU6A

    I enjoyed watching it. Nice touch to draw dimensions and use the dimensionlines as snap points when moving objects. I use to use point filters.
    I would have a question: You moved the threaded rod in the center of the nut. But how can you be sure that the threads will match? The image is not clear enough and I can not read in the command line the commands you used. Also the icons are unknown for me -I use only AutoCAD 2006
    It's nice to be nice, but sometimes is nicer to be evil!.
    Tip: Please do not PM or email me with CAD questions - use the forums, you'll get an answer sooner.

    Some of the icons I have on my screen are custom for non-standard commands. Also, most of the buttons I use are arranged on a custom toolbar. I will post an updated video with either me speaking as I go, or I will add captions to explain what I am doing. I'm thinking the voice recording will be the way to go.

    As far as the threads matching, I used a 3/4-10 thread, so my thread pitch is exactly 0.10". The threaded part that I used to subtract from the nut was exactly 1" long, and the threaded rod was 2" long. I moved the threaded rod down 0.50", or 5 threads, to align both of them at their center points and made sure that the starting points of the helix were facing the same direction. When I cut the section through, it comes out dead on.

    I'm also going to see if I can increase the clarity of the video. A lot of the details will become more visible then.
