Thanks mrr1671. This looks like what I need, but I do not have experience with loading LISP files. I will try to find out more about this in keyword search
Hi Bearisle. use the appload command at the command line, a dialog box will open , the chose the folder where you save the lisp command, then type
3dthd
at the command line , and follow the instruction.
Thanks to mrr1671 for showing me link and to pardal for the simple description of how to use. worked perfect in a matter of seconds. I assume internal threads are created by first creating external threads and then subtracting them from the object? Or is there a seperate LISP? What else can be done with LISP files? Is there a good source for other LISP files?
very interested in the stand alone lisp function, and the fact that I don't have to spend $199 for the unneeded extras appeals to me greatly.
Thanks-

I have used the 3dthd lisp. It asks for the nominal size, threads per inch, length and center. The threads are generated with the major diameter = to the figure you enter for nominal size, but the minor diameter seems smaller than it should be. Am I doing something wrong or is the output not to scale?
I found another program to create threads, but the download contained 2 files (HELICAD.VLX / HELICAD.SLB) I used the appload command and was only able to load the .vlx file in AutoCad 2000. When I typed HELICAD in the command line, it then asked for the .SLB file that I was unable to load.
