NOTE: Latest version is 0.16 - this stores thread details in the URL field in the properties area so that threads can be identified later.
An issue with the software was that once threads were created, they were particularly difficult to identify - details like pitch, length and thread indexes as well as diameter are complicated and not easily recovered.
So I now record that information by attaching a hyperlink to the entity so that at least this information is attached to the entity itself and can be used later, especially when recording information about a drawing/model or when modifying it with slight variations.
Prior version is 0.15 - This addresses some issues in the thread depth calculation for inside threads.
Hi All,
It's a first version- not even that in fact, as I'm still writing it - but I figure that deperate people might want anything to produce a standard thread. So this application produces an ISO standard thread profile, for any diameter, pitch and length.
And it's easy to use. BTW, Klaus, Can you please ask the forum owners to allow ".LSP" extension files to be attached? We need them for CorelCAD but the extension is not recognized and cannot be uploaded.
So cut out the code ( it's in the next post ) and save as "threads.lsp" in your applications folder...
Instructions.
Note: Please review end of thread to get latest version as an attachment - download and use "appload" to execute.
ThanksDavid
OK, just a note that I just noticed that I got the profile for the inside threads reversed... *sigh*... I'll work on a correction for that.

All fixed now - the profile (after I made this post) should be correct.
Thanks

Please see end of thread for latest version- Thank you -
0.13 Beta is the latest version and seems to work - so should be used for creation of production threads... Sorry I can't attach it as a file. The board still won't accept LSP files.
