Thread Tool

Hi @Istvan

I see you said coming soon in January, what’s the ETA on this feature?

I’m also in need of threading feature. Currently, I’m designing lightsabers parts for production, and ideally I need to be able to mark on any cylindrical part where is thread and this information to be available in 2D documentation because right now I can’t even mark that part X has thread M30x0.75. I’m seriously thinking about going back to Inventor.

As modelling threads would be useful to test 3D prototypes, I don’t need this feature asap.

For comparison in Inventor, there is only possibility to mark threads on parts without modelling feature. What is important, Inventor will help you pick the best thread for your pipe dimensions. I struggled a bit with this in Shapr because I choose my lightsabers to have OD=32 mm and ID=27 mm, which forced me to use the mentioned M30x0.75. I needed to make all wall thickness calculations in Excel to figure this out. If Shapr could help also pick threads, that would be great!
