verify thread

[robh]

when in verify and 'show true threads' selected, why don't they show? not a big deal but wondering what I'm missing

[GoetzInd]

Show true threads is only for lathe threads if I'm not mistaken.

maybe it only does external ones not internal, which is what I want..I'm sure that I've verified threads in mill Mike, but my memory could be faulty.

[Rob @ Target Machine]

Verify can only remove stock from an stl model based on the tool profile and the programmed motion.

 

In the case of a tap, the programmed motion is down in z and the tool profile from that vector, 0,0,1 is the major dia. That's what you'll see, the major dia. Rotation is ignored.

 

You can, however, verify an internal or external thread with a threadmill defined as a custom tool.

 

The threads look like crap, but you can see them, and verify that you haven't under/overcut them.

 

 

 

I'm just messin' around with ya.

 

Threadmilling only not tapping.

 

Maybe we can verify tapping in X15, but it'll be buggy. LOL
