Greetings,
I tried this post in the newbie section but it died a long death! So, here's my query, i want to make various thread types for screws and bolts of different diameters, pitch and leads. That is, 'V-Threads, Acme Threads, Buttress Threads' etc.
Is there a plugin that will make my life easier? I've tried 3d Warehouse for components but no luck?

Remus kindly supplied the following links to help understand what i'm trying to make

thanks for the interest chris, but the following post answers your question.

Greetings,

I'm trying to create various thread types with SU7, v-thread, acme thread, buttress thread and round thread. Is there a plugin that can do this for me? I would also like to be able to change the lead on each of these threads if possible?
