      I'm looking for a plug in that will do screw threads, a virtual tap and die so to speak. I'm sure there must be one, although I couldn't find it.

        Here's a tutorial http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=344360#p344360
        The 'Screw 1.5' ruby is available for free download from here... http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/plugin_details.php?id=357
        It is also available on the SCF Forum here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=240238#p240238 - but the version naming is somewhat confusing πŸ˜•
        There are other threads discussing this type of modeling too... do a Forum Search for +screw, +thread etc...

          Thanks for those links Tig, looks promising,if not a bit more involved than I was hoping for.
