Hello you Pro-E users

Is it possible to make a hole with Gassthreads G1/2 (14/")

I work with Pro-E windchill 5 and have no colleges to ask it to.

Greetings from Belgium

Chris

Hi Christiaan,

On WF3 the thread and holes are defined in the .hol file.

you can either remake your own or look for the correct one on the net.

Hope this help.

Let us know how you get on.

Hello Chris (from Belgium)

Have you made regular machine threads in Pro-e? If so you would build the Gas Threads the same way except you would angle the SWP PROFILE to match that of the Gas Thread specification.

Hello again

Until now all the threads I used were regular and are preinstalled. So I don't know how to make new ones in Pro-E.

That's the problem with me: I dont know how.

Now you told me it's possible I will look for it but a few hints are welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Hi there

Is it possible to make an upgrade for Pro-e 5 with Gass-treads as option in the hole option. This is also an answer to PTC.

Friendly greetings

Chris

Chris,

What version of Pro-e are you running?

Hi Robert

I use Wildfire 5 since 6 months.

The only plus I have is EFX fullversion.

Can you help me with the traed G1/2'.

Hear you

Christiaan,

Two general choices with threads: Cosmetic Threads or actual helical geometry. If you want to create the real geometry, you use Helical Sweep/Cut. There are a few ways to do this. Although it's not necessary, I prefer to create a hole first. It provides a good reference, and you can put in a chamfer before creating the cut. If you want more details, let me know.

P.S. Sorry for the redundancy; it looks like Robert was giving you the same answer at the same time.

Hi

I suppose you are close to have given the right answer but...

I can not open the files you send along (hol) the pc seems to think it's a kind of file like "holidays of microsoft office outlook".

Is it possible you did something wrong or did I? I send one unzipped back.

I should say or you try it again or you tell me what i've been doing wrong.

Thanks anyway

Chris

This files have to be placed in the same directory as iso.hol and unc.hol.

You then need to restart proe. you should see different choice of thread in the hole tool.

If you want to create your own thread you need to edit this files with pro-table.
