Do you require threaded parts in your Fusion 360 design? It’s very easy to specify a thread using the Thread command under the Create menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"thread<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Once in the command, you can specify which circular face, whether internal or external, that you want to create the thread on.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"circular<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fusion 360 will find the closest \u201cstandard\u201d thread in relation to the size of the circular face you selected. You have the option to specify the Thread Type, such as Pipe Threads, ACME Threads, Inch or Metric Threads, etc. You can also change the size of the thread, if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"thread<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By un-checking the Full Length option, you can specify the length of the thread on the face.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"thread<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will notice that the threads show up as a \u201cdecal\u201d instead of modeled threads. This is to help create a visual reference without adding all the extra faces and edges that modeled threads would create. The threads will be represented correctly on a drawing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, if you need to show the modeled threads, such as for 3D printing, you can quickly convert the decal threads to modeled threads using the following tip:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Document Settings pull-down in the Browser, you can change the Threads option from Cosmetic to Modeled. They will all switch to the Modeled format!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With over 25 years in the Mechanical Design industry, he has worked for Hewlett-Packard in the Mechanical Design Division as a CAD Specialist. That division split from HP to become CoCreate Software, in which Brad had an integral role in supporting the Direct Modeler, SolidDesigner. About 14 years ago, PTC acquired CoCreate Software, so Brad worked as a Technical Specialist with PTC in their Federal Aerospace & Defense division for many years. About 4 years ago, he moved over to Autodesk to join the Fusion 360 team, where he currently works with customers using the Fusion 360 product. Brad devotes his spare time teaching Fusion 360 at local MakerSpaces and High Schools, and helping out with Boy Scouts of America. He also enjoys 3D printing, woodworking, and flying remote controlled aircrafts.","url":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/author\/tallisb\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1859"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11583\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11583"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=11583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
