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.
Is this version capable of printing left hand threads as well (Aside from using a 3D mirror)? If not, what would need to be changed/modified?
OK, an update here to the ISOTHREADS Application.
Version 0.18 is now available, which handles Left and Right handed threads, and now follows correct naming of inside and outside threads. (Internal and External )
