Missing Type and Size Thread Option

Out of category

Hi all

I have Solidworks 2018, and when I want to make a thread, the options are missing, I first searched on the internet

My file only has standard types apparently and I have this as a message.

Could you please help me, I don't know how to move forward in my work anymore.

Here's what I have in the thread adjustment parts... Nothing

I tried to repair the program, nothing helps, my file is missing.

Can someone send me the base file that I will manually place in the files?

HELP, thank you in advance

And what thread do you want to make?

My problem is just that I don't have access to the default thread of the program, I'm missing the file and apparently several people have the same problem as me.

Good evening

I understand your difficulty because I have struggled recently on the subject.

Ignores the first message as it is only an indication for NC machines in particular that would use the native SW part file as this can cause errors.

You also need to activate the toolbox for it to work (I don't know why but that's the way it is, because once activated you have all the filters you want).

Then you have to reason about the edges and not about the surface that the cylinder represents.

The faces are those perpendicular to the central axis. You have to select the start and end one.

Make your throats at the end of the net well which must be slightly deeper than the bottom of the fliet otherwise a hassle guaranteed.

Finally, pay attention to the threading method, in my case I used "Cut the thread" and "vertical symmetry". Otherwise it makes you shit.

Another feature that was developed without talking to a turner in a workshop

Here's a part that shows you how to use the feature. Do different tests you will quickly see what to do and what not to do.

Hello Cobra 427

I activated my toolbox (by the way, is it normal that I have to activate it every time?)

Nothing works.

Can someone send me the original SW file of all types of threads?

Or I found a tutorial that allows me to add manually...

At home it is not activated and yet the piercing assistance works!

You must also check the box enable at startup.

In the thread specification, I have nothing, and SW tells me that I have to modify the nominals to be able to select them afterwards by saving them, is that right? If so, can  someone guide me to encode them? thank you in advance

That was the reason for my question 

What type of thread?

Want a real thread?

I don't think they understand my problem:(

In fact I know how to do the thread but in SW I don't have the defined and default settings that SW offers at the base! Everything is white as if my files were empty.

I looked on the net and fixed the program, nothing helped.

I lack all the possible standardizations! :(

Where does your SolidWorks 2018 come from?

It's a version and license of my job that I can use at home for educational and private purposes.

Hello

And the files you are missing are not on a network that you don't have access to from home by any chance?

Kind regards

Hi d.roger, no at all I have already checked,

My son has a student version and at home no worries,

I'm trying to find the file on the C:/ that can't be found... When I go to the options to check the location of the file, my son has a correct path that is different from my version. I thought of taking this file but I can't find the path to give, is it a protection? I'm a little lost

I think I've solved my problem,

As the file location path in SW is not good at home and I couldn't find it... In fact, you just have to change a parameter in Windows to find this famous file (hidden by the C:/ ProgramData)

I will do it when my PC has come back from the maintenance.

Now I need to put the correct ThreadProfiles file location (which was hidden by the C:/) back in solidworks!

Thank you all!
