create threads

[Cergil1983]

Good morning to all,

I wanted to ask how you could create a thread (eg. m10) female, inside a body...
Is there a method with inventor to easily reproduce the female thread?
thanks to all for the precious answers

with the hole command? or if there is already a processing for removal use the command "filettatura"?

Wouldn't there be a way through the helid?

good morning, if the thread feature is enough for how it is handled normally the possibilities are to use the hole command, or the thread command if the processing has already been done and the cylindrical face is available.
if you need to get something physical then yes, the command to use is the helid. The latter requires a basic sketch that both the thread section you want to create, and then asks for parameters to generate a sweep on helical path. also gives the possibility to flatten the terminations, but this is optional and can then be done with subsequent processing.

to what pro create a perfect thread when a representation is sufficient?
if you need to have a real thread, more than the helid would use this app:

working both on holes and on threaded shafts and screws. here the demo:
