Hi there,

Is there any specific tool/command/plugin to create standard screws/threads?

if not, you thinks Evolve will develop one in the future?

 

many thanks

    Hi Pil,

    At the moment there are no such plug ins available. We have plans to make such libraries available in the future but that will be 2018 or later.

    The workaround is to use McMaster-Carr and import the screws as SolidWorks Part files and subtract them from the source geometry.
