Custom-Made Thread

[nicolas]

Hi,

 

I need to make a custom-made barrel thread 24mm. long with size 8 or 10mm and pitch of 6 mm. How can this be done in Inventor?

 

Thanks.

Open the thread.xls (Design Data folder of Inventor installation) file in Excel and go to the "ANSI Metric M Profile" (metric) tabs. Add rows with thread sizes you want to add. Restart Inventor to accept changes.

 

I would then download cool orange thread modeler from the add ons and cut the thread.

I would create cylinder.

I would sketch cutting tool.

I would then use the Coil command with Cut option - just like out on the shop floor.
