Hello shift.........Well what can I say; Once again you have exceeded all my expectations. You are a STAR, really big thanks for all your effort and time spent on this project with me. Your guidance has been exceptional and the explanations and the way you present them are spot on and easy to follow.

 

I can’t wait to get cracking on this now. You have inspired me with your motivation, dedication and obvious vast knowledge of this complex piece of software.

 

Much thanks and respect to you.

Hi Shift1313,

 

I am having a little difficulty with the screw thread in that it seems to slide forward faster that it has turned (a bit out of sync) if you will.

 

Can you please advise on where I might be going wrong.

 

Excellent tut by the way really very well set out and has helped me no end, Much Thanks shift.

When you insert the joint and enter the Pitch, that should match up. What was the pitch of your thread? i know ACME thread pitch and thread width are the same but I dont have your model here with me at work.

Hi shift,

 

Im going to try again I think I know what I have done wrong now.

 

My pitch is 6mm I entered 1 that could be the problem me thinks.

 

Cheers.

Hi, I have sorted the rotation issue out now and its really comming together well. Thanks for all your help guys not forgetting Shift1313's detailed examples and patience .

 

I am now trying to create a better screw thread as the one I currently have seems to pan a bit rather than being a true square thread.

 

Anyhow thanks very much to all that helped .

 

Regards.
