Creating custom thread profiles in SOLIDWORKS

[@charlestoneoyoo]

Nice one thanks for sharing

[@bigmountaingoat8401]

Thanks for the help, I am adding custom threads to multiple components and now I don't have to sketch the profile x+ times!

What values should I look to change if I am trying to change from M45 x 1.5 to a M35 x 1.5.

Brother, is simplier Draw a Sketch, and use the spiral command to create the path.

I need a 9/16"-18 thread (not in the list). I followed the video, created the extra thread, saved the file. Went back to the bolt I want to thread and it doesn't show the thread I created. Went back and opened the file and the .5625-18 thread is there. Any ideas?

I understand what you did here and I want to add an M72x1 into my profiles. My question is when you changed the thread pitch on the actual drawing, do you not have to re-calculate & change the other 2 values as well, or do they remain the same because you are using the same M size? (I am looking for an accurate thread (not cosmetic) to create a G Code program from the CAM add on).

[@mecadsystems-solidworksand4875]

It is best to try and manually add operations like threading in CAM software, often thread is not interpreted correctly and it tries to "mill" the thread.

For anyone still struggling with this the method to find profile and height can be found here: www.cadimensions.com/blog/new-thread-wizard-tool/ He doesn't actually follow these formulas in the video for whatever reason - please explain

@@meekeech Thank you, this helps a lot. It went wrong when I'm using a smaller pitch and I found out that the other values didn't match with the new pitch.

Thank you for this; seems like a lot of faff to achieve something simple.
