Thread form in holes

[nemmi]

Hi I am new to Pro/E and have been doing ok learning but I have run in to a problem in that I need a NPT thread form and it is not an option. Is this because I have the student edition? How do I go about getting it or do I need to create it?


Thanks in advance.

in wf-2 you can insert a sketch hole with the spec.you needand you could make a helical section sweep or insert cosmetic thread. keep in mind when you are sketching the hole you need a axis of rotation just like a revolve.


hope this help.

Well that went straight over my head. Is there no way to add to the existing options?

Hi Nemmi


step1:do the protrusion


Step2:these are the series of operations that you need to do


1.cut:advanced:helical sweep:done


2.draw the vertical line for indicating the direction of cut and the distance of cut.


3.it asks for pitch


4.after the trajectory is done , draw a traingular section(the base of the section has to be smaller than the pitch)which indiactes the tooth profile:


5.done

Thanks ratish20781


I will have to add a taper to it as well which is a pain since it tapers by 3/4" per foot. I think there is also a flat to be drawn as well. For those interested there is a web site (http://www.rose-training.com/tandp/may04.htm) which explains NPT form).
