How do you import screw threads into SW2005, I need to use 5/16"X40 TPI, where would I get these details and how do you import them into the programme.

Please search the forums, you'll find greatness, like:
thread559-193321

Also, SW help topics are great.

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

There are many websites which list thread details.

http://www.efunda.com/DesignStandards/screws/unified.cfm?start=64&finish=147

is one of the better ones. (IMO)

You cannot 'import' the details into SW. You have to add them manually. See faq559-1183
