Thread profiles

[ctopher]

SolidWorks doesn't have a full list of thread profiles. Does anyone know of a site that shares a download of a full list of thread profiles?

Are you talking like NPT thread profiles?

The Inch and metric profiles seem to me like everything is there?

All types. There are some missing, 1/4-36 ?

Looking at my standard thread types I don't show a 1/4-36? 1/4-20 Coarse, 1/4-28 Fine... never heard of 1/4-36?

Just did a search and it's there, but it is not standard, that's probably why it's not in SW it's not a standard thread type. I guess we are going to have to create one, along with all the NPT as well.

Here are a couple of sites that show how to create a profile. I know you are looking for someone to share their profiles, but if no one replies this will help if you haven't seen it already.
