Hi guys,You welcome…

I was looking at your tutorial on creating a 1/2-13 bolt. I was just wondering in step #7, how you calculated thedimensions of the tooth side profile. I found the tutorial very helpful Thanks. I do look forward in hearing how youcalculated that profile, because I wouldn’t know how to calculate it for a 3/8 bolt, or any other bolt. I appreciate anyhelp on this.Con

I cannot get thread profile to sweep. I’m obviously doing something wrong, but don’t know what. I figure I messed upthe thread profile sketch. Any tips?

That was quite useful for me, thanks.

For some reason it won’t sweep

I resketched the profile many times; it always gave me an error without explanation.

Can anyone help me?

This is nice and all but its a bit incomplete, I’m still very new and some of the steps were rushed…

Im still new to this, so please reply. Thanks!

ShimbaMarch 26th, 2010 at 12:05 pm

Ok…. Lol thats not my problem anymore..

Here’s my new problem: when i set sketch 6 as profile and helix/spiral 1 for the path, then it says “Sweep operationfailed to complete.”

So what to do?

14.

StephenApril 14th, 2010 at 4:39 pm

The sweep op didn’t work for me until I extended the sketch into the shaft area. It can be extended in any distance, aslong as it is not flush with the top of the shaft. If you mirror (copy) the sketch it works great. Hope that helps
