AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Get The Thread Function
Jun 13, 2012
I have recently installed Inventor 2013 Professional Ultimate and am having some issues. I can not seem to get the Thread function to work. When I go to apply a thread I get the follow error....
When I go to search the directory, I find that the Thread xls document is infact there, but it is not located where the program thinks it should be (XLS Folder --> en-US Folder)
I also made sure that the Design Data location was correct within the Application Options...
A reboot of the computer did not work.

I'd like to use an "NPT" Hole Dialog thread but it doesn't show up in the Thread type list.But it does show up in the Thread Dialog/Specifications Tab/ Thread type list so it's available.
I definitely have "NPT" in my Thread.xls & I have my Options/Files set to point to the correct Design Data folder.

I can drill a hole as needed, but can't thread a hole at all. Not with the Tapped Hole function when drilling the hole, or after drilling the hole then using the Thread Tool. Inventor will just not let me create threads this way outside of cutting a coil.

I am trying to add a thread class to the thread.xls. (that part is ok)
The thread is M26x2.0
I can't seem to find any information for me to simply plug in the values into the .xls, so I am thinking that I have to crunch some numbers. which is fine. I just want to make sure that this image below is the correct the reference for this task.
using the pitch, I should be able to calculate all my min and max values, but the xls has class column and a tap drill column, how would I determine these values??

I'm trying to be able to have a function run another function with the secondary function being passed as an argument to the first. I'm trying to create a recursive function and the recursive part works great. I just need to be able to have the recursive function run other functions to actually do stuff.
Here is something I found that should do what I need, mainly run a function from a function name in a variable.
Sub test() Dim ftnName As String Dim argument As String Dim result As String ftnName = "myFunction" argument = "cat" result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument) MsgBox resultEnd SubFunction myFunction(inString As String) As String myFunction = inString & " has " & Len(inString) & " letters."End Function
However I get the error "object required" on the "result = Application.Run(ftnName, argument)" line. So I'm guessing the Inventor VBA doesn't like this method of doing this. I'm just hoping there is a way to do this or this function will be useless or reduced to hardcoding functions which still defeats the purpose.

You can organize a multi-threaded work with data through Inventor API? For example, there is a assembly and I need the first part of assembling a list of items to consider in a data set, the second part of the list - in the second data set, the third - the third and so on up to N, where N - depends on how many threads can run in the system . Whether these flows are processed and to receive data in parallel? Or go to the consistent implementation of this algorithm will first be processed by the first part, and only after it will start the second ...?

I am having a terrible time getting the thread modeler to work correctly for an M16x 1.5 thread. I have tried multiple approaches to get the correct thread dimensions output.These are the steps I take:
1) Create hole (I've used both major and minor thread diameters,16mm and 14.376mm)
2) Apply Inventor threads (M16 x 1.5)
3) Select threads from tree using the Add-in thread modeler "Controller"
4) Analyze dimensions finding both cases yield the wrong dimensions.
This add-in would be very useful and a great time saver if it would work correctly.

In my project file, under design data folder options, I have it set to c:designsStandardsStyles. This is where I have my thread.xls located.
When I try to place a threaded feature, Inventor gives me a warning that it cant find the Thread.xls file.
It is looking for this file in c:DesignsStandardsStylesXLSen-USThread.xls. Where is it getting this path from?

We are using inventor 2012 at my school and have recently purchased a makerbot 3D printer abd having lots of fun. However i recently created a model that has an M40 Thread as part of the model. However when i try to 3D print it, it doesn't recognise the thread and it isn't printed. I see the thread on the ipt but once it is saved as an stl it seems to disappear.

When working in the drawing environment it is easy to accidantially snap the dimension to a thread symbol (the arc around the hole), instead of the actual hole.
I don't think need dimensions to snap to these symbols.

In the drawing, i annotate a thread. the automatic text for thread depth is always, as far as i see, incorrect, for example if the thread depth is 50 it writes, i don't remeber, but something like 250.
Maybe it has to do with the font, altough i doubt. i am in israel, and the quantity of threads, also an automatic text, is written backwards, for example 4x instead of x4.

I use the following code to get the information if a thread is right or left handed from an outer thread:
'Gewinderichtung Gewinde1If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = True ThenGewinde1_Richtung = "RH"'Else If Feature.InventorFeature("Bohrung1").HoleInfo.RightHanded = False Then'Gewinde1_Richtung = "LH"'ElseEnd If
Now I also need to get this information from a hole feature but I was not able to adapt the code correctly. The error I get says that "HoleInfo" for the type "HoleF eature" was not found.

How can I change thread note from M12x1.75 to M12?
For our drawing standard, we don’t put the standard thread pitch into the thread note, and we have to manual to over write the thread note. But when the thread size changes and the note never get updated. Is there any other way to get the note to link to the thread size?

4. what's a UAC?
5. yes i've office 2007 installed & i had tried with office 2003 but also the same problem.
1 the first time i used, i made the bolted connection once, but at the second time i kept having this issue.

I have authored a meter as an iPart before placing into Content Centre - it will be authored to be used in tube and pipe.
Some variants have Rc (ISO Taper Threads) ranging from ¼-2", and some have G (ISO Pipe Threads). The only way I could get it to change between the different thread types was to model threaded hole features, and change the thread spec in the iPart table. {I have included the part so you can see what I've done}
It works fine as an iPart, but after having placed it into content centre the following errors occur with the generated Parts: the threads fail, the holes do not compute (resulting in the failure of the authored Tube and Pipe work points and axes), also the bmp decal doesn't rotate properly.

Possible to add a thread feature to a part using iLogic.
Basically in the iLogic form if the user selects "Threaded Rod" the existing Extrusion is updated to reflect a cylinder with a length and diameter specified by the user and then I need to have a Thread Added to the cylinder.

Say you model a custom nut or bolt with threads. Is it possible to put the thread designation in the description iproperty?
Something like:

Does inventor take into account threads? I want to do a pull test on BSP thread connection but the surfaces between the threads are shown as "bonded" so I gues that the stress analysis will treat it as one part glued together.

When we make an external threaded part, like a stud or something, I'd like to save my lathe guys some time looking things up by showing the pitch diameters on the thread callouts.
I've looked through some posts on this and it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to do it in an automated fashion, even though the data is in the Thread.xls file. I'd really like to not have to look it up to make every print.
First, I thought I'd just use the "Custom Thread Designation" field, but as soon as I changed it in the XLS file, I kept getting alerts in Inventor saying that there was an error in the thread family because the callout applied to multiple fit classes or something like that. So that didn't work out very well. So....
1. Is there a way to do this?
2. What is the point of the "custom thread designation" infrastructure? Am I not using it correctly?
