hollopollo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hello there, can anybody help me to draw the thread of a screw in 2D Thank you:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yes, we can help you, but you need to ask questions. Where are you stuck? What are you not understanding? What problems are you having? Post a screenshot of what you have drawn so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Most (if not all) technical drafting books show three different methods of 2d representation of threads. Simplified, schematic, and detailed. All three methods use a "nominal representation" of smaller threads (say below 25.4mm or 1 inch) as to draw actual size the lines would be so close as to not give an aesthetic look to the drawing.

ReMark Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 To what level of detail (see JD Mather's post above)? Is this an assignment for a class? What type of thread are you trying to draw? Some additional input from you is required. Otherwise...take a look in a mechanical drafting book such as Basic Technical Drawing by Henry Cecil Spencer. Consult the Threads and Fasteners chapter.

Metric or Imperial threads? A little more detail would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_O'neill Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 All depends on what you need and how detailed you need to be. Attached is a drawing with three different examples. screws.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
