Hi Roger,

As u have indicated that u are bit new and are using 2006, creating male and female threads is not difficult.
I am quite familiar with it. I can create the same for you.
You can contact me on my email id kumar.urao@gmail.com
regards
umesh

Thanks Vladimir, but I'm using version 2006 which doesn't have the HELIX command.

Now I also would like to be able to draw threads, as in machine screws, and pipes.  In sizes from 1/16 to 4", both male and female.

Any other ideas?

Thank You,
Roger

If you are using a newer version of AutoCAD, you can also try the [CMD]HELIX[/CMD] command.]]> Mon, 16 Mar 2009 10:08:15 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=4968&title=need-help-drawing-3d-coil#4968 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1170&PID=3151&title=need-help-drawing-3d-coil#3151 Author: RogerAF

I want to draw a 3D coil that I can then use as a path to extrude a face with.  Or, if I can use a large diameter wire, I could make a second with smaller diameter and subtract from the large.  The idea is to represent a coiled condenser tube as used in chem lab.

I tried using the SOL_SPRING.LSP file, but I'm new to using the LISP applications and couldn't select a valid "3D Spiral".

Can someone suggest an alternative or tell me how to use the app?

Thanks,
Roger
