LABS - Inventor ThreadModeler

The ThreadModeler tool allows Inventor users to more easily create realistic modelised threads based on an existing Inventor thread feature. Users select an existing thread feature in the model and ThreadModeler generates a realistic thread based on the feature properties.

This tool is available for Inventor 2011 and 2012.

You can try the ThreadModeler for yourself at:

Updated Threads XLS for Inventor 2011

We were recently asked on support for BA and Whitworth Threads in Inventor, so we have updated a Thread.xls file to include these and work with Inventor 2011.
To use this file you will need to replace the existing Thread.xls file in your Design Data folder, default locations as below:

• Windows 7 = C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2011\Design Data
• Windows XP = C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2011\Design Data

If the new Threads do not appear immediately, you may need to restart Inventor for it to reread the threads spreadsheet.
