Yes, Please add custom thread profiles. AND TAPER THREADS. I model NPT fittings into 3d printable parts and I am stuck downloading McMaster pipe plugs to do body subtractions. AND YOU CLOWNS WANT MONEY FOR THIS CAD SOFTWARE?????
When you use the Hole tool there is a Hole Tap Type called Tapered Tap. It has BSP, DIN, ISO, JIS and NPT plus NPT for PVC. There isn't a modeled version but it creates the hole the correct size and taper.
Please add custom thread profiles. Our options now are some extremely un-intuitive manual operations with a helix or whatever, or manually editing an xml file that gets overwritten every time the app updates.
Can you develop these features? - Turning machine simulation - Add more axis in 3d CAM ..eg w axis on horizontal boring milling machine - Movement or joint and animation of the rope/wire/routing created by pipe command - Flatten and Wrap surface - Bending Multiple Bodies (similar feature Lattice Rig/Bend Rig/Twist Rig/Conform Rig in Autodesk Alias) - Draw sketches on the STL/OBJ mesh surface One idea I would like is that you can enable 5-axis toolpath creation and simulation in the free or personal versions, and you can lock the G-code export function (only G-code export is possible when paying for Manufacturing extensions), this could help more people gain access to the CAM technology that Fusion offers and tend to think about being willing to pay for the right features.
Nice presentation.....As a follow on to this vid, have the next one cover the correct approaches to take when modeling threaded holes that will be brought into CAM for thread milling, internal and external.
Would be nice to have a option where you could make either the inner or outer thread size slightly offset when doing a design that will be 3D printed so there is a bit of clearance due to the way the threads get printed.
@LearnEverythingAboutDesign I use a trick that I found by stephan on cnc kitchen, It isn't perfect but I did it recently with a 60mm thread for a set of adjustable height feet I designed for my 12U home server rack and it made it easier.
I downloaded a puller tool from Makerworls but once printed the male thread would not screw into the female thread, I noticed there were no starts on the threads, can you make threaded starts in Fusion?
I really would apprciate if there is a solution for the chamfer on the bolt end. Did you notice that the thread stops there! This is not realistic! This because the face of the shaft is selected. Your cutting tool however will also cut in the face of the chamfer. To overcome this an extra body and combine feature could solve this. But it would be better if this was automatically solved. Maybe something for a next update?
@@martinmarriott3607 ah, yes, thank you for reminding me! I don't use modeled threads very often so I had forgotten that trick! I wonder if it's a bug or feature :P
HI!! PLEASE ADD AN OPTION TO NAME SKETCHES, CONTRUCTION PLANES...... SOMEWHERE OTHER THEN DOUBLE CLICK TO CHANGE NAME. CHANGE NAME SOMEWHERE WHILE MAKING THE SKETCH OR NAME CONSTRUCTION PLANE IN THE POP UP BOXES!!!!! SO MANY NON EASE OF LIFE THINGS IN THIS THAT WOULD MAKE A WHOLE LOT MORE BETTER EXPERIENCE.

I've been making the same "suggestion" for three years! Nothing but lip service so far. 😡
Oh goodness yes, thank you. I forgot to mention taper threads.
I've been waiting for taper threads for 5 years now.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesignAnd for OD threads?

It is necessary for reverse engineering some one-off caps etc. and also crucial for 3d printing with it`s limitations.
Couldn't be buggier if Autodesk tried. When I need workarounds for my workarounds.......
I've used Fusion 360 since 2016, there are still no modeled NPT threads.
I too would like to... Learn everything about design...😊
lol
Please add NTP printable pipe threads
Can you develop these features?
- Turning machine simulation
- Add more axis in 3d CAM ..eg w axis on horizontal boring milling machine
- Movement or joint and animation of the rope/wire/routing created by pipe command
- Flatten and Wrap surface
- Bending Multiple Bodies (similar feature Lattice Rig/Bend Rig/Twist Rig/Conform Rig in Autodesk Alias)
- Draw sketches on the STL/OBJ mesh surface
One idea I would like is that you can enable 5-axis toolpath creation and simulation in the free or personal versions, and you can lock the G-code export function (only G-code export is possible when paying for Manufacturing extensions), this could help more people gain access to the CAM technology that Fusion offers and tend to think about being willing to pay for the right features.

That does sound cool. The difference in fit for say a 2 vs 3 isn't enough for a 3d print. Do you use Scale now?

Standard is M8 x 1.25!
What about big threads like 8” 4tpi
Now how about manufacturing those threads…
well using tapping tools i guess

Why? It doesn't really matter?
You can work around this by putting the chamfer on first, then the thread and now drag the chamfer after the thread. Done.
