Solved: Creo 8: Thread mill bug?

Daniel_E · ‎Dec 04, 2021

Thread milling seems broken in Creo 8. I used a template that worked fine in Creo 7, but now in Creo 8, the lead-in radius is the wrong direction. It's still tangent, but the wrong way. I can't get it to change and have to switch to a radial entry so that there is no radius. Is this a bug, or am I doing it wrong?

This turned out to be a problem with the part model. I used thread milling on many other parts since then without issue. So I went back to that part and re-modeled the feature, and the thread milling worked without issue. The original file was imported from another CAD software, so maybe that caused some issue. Anyway, doesn't seem to be a bug after all.
