How do I draw these threads?

I mean teeth not threads. How do I draw these teeth?

I'm trying to draw a Pliers Locking Curved 7 W in AutoCAD 2009.

How do I draw teeth for the upper jaw.

trace the image?

what is the problem? do you need dimensions, or to build guidelines, or what?

Oops!

I meant to say teeth not threads. I'm tired of trying to draw them wrong.

Any drawing guidelines would help.

I just need the build guide lines. I care less about dimensions, I just want to know how you would go about drawing the teeth above.

I used the Line command to create the teeth on this one. (see attached)

 

You can then PE Join Extrude

or

Presspull

I started by importing an image.

I then scaled the image so that known reference geometry was 1:1 size.

Then I used a combination of measured dimensions with calipers and tracing over the image. (see attached)

haha couldn't ask for a better answer than that JD :wink:

"and here's one i prepared earlier...."

That is a great model there JD.

 

As above, I would just insert the image and trace it.

You introduced a whole new way of doing my project. I have to draw the exact dimensions for a mechanical object of my choice.

Although I've been using a different model of the plier It wouldn't be too late to trace the exact model.

 

I don't know if this is too much to ask but do you have any idea where I would find a for a CR-V, PM model #33478 lock plier?

Looks like you found one - start drawing.
