      If I may, I'll pass on something that works well for me. I have broken down the threads into a small component. that is then copied multiple times. That way I can reuse the threaded section and easily adjust its length. [image: 4484626412_c316a75d8c_m.jpg] This wood screw was drawn to be 2" long but I can quickly change it to be any length I need. The threads are separate from the rest of the screw and the threads are made up of multiple instances of the same component. I can add or subtract instances as need to make the length adjustment. [image: PipeClamp1-1.jpg] I did the same sort of thing for the threads on this pipe clamp. I can then make an acme threaded screw any length I wish. Edited to add this image. I was looking for it earlier to add as a reference and couldn't find it. [image: 5662968502_1dc00d333b.jpg] The round head screw was made in a few moments from the flat head screw and the T-bolt was made from the hex head cap screw on the far right.

      Good morning Remus, thank you for the advise. I will definitely download CADSpan and give it a test drive! I have a friend who is a genius with SolidWorks and can check it's viability for me. Connor
