Partial Threading of round bar

[donsrno1]

How do you partially thread a bar in solid edge? I need to thread about 50mm of a 150mm bar but it won't allow me to do this as it simply threads the whole bar even when I use a finite value for it.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks.

Hi,

the thread is OK! It's only that the whole face is coloured
green just to viaualize that this part is threaded.

See topic:

im trying to make a finite value for the thread depth

(the link, however, is no longer valid)

donsrno1,

All you need to stop the thread is a minute change in diameter of the bar. You can trick SE by including a tiny groove in the shaft at the termination of the thread.
