Eds Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I'm following the video in the IronCad Academy website for making threads, and it is mentioned that the sketch is in the positive XY direction. Following that instruction gave me malformed threads instead, while shifting the Y to the negative gave me correct threads. Is there a specific position that the sketch needs to be in?

IronKevin Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 What version are you using? In IronCAD 2022 I put the sketch in positive XY and the Threads cut fine. See attached example: Thread.ics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDEAR Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Done in 2021. This is 'Add material' I could not get as good a result with 'Remove material' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDEAR Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 So, when I tried 'Remove material' and ticked reverse direction, it worked ...almost, but not consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
