For all those who are facing problem while sweep, here is the solution 1. Select Sweep 2. Change Mode to Surface. 3. Select the object to be Sweep (In this case the thread triangle) and press Enter. 4. Now before selecting the path click on "Alignment" and select "NO". 5. Now select the Sweep Path. and there you go!!!!!
I love your tutorials! Thank you for speaking and explaining instead of just playing music and having us watch! Also, thank you for going into so much technical detail!!!!!
Your vids are great! I'm just starting to study AutoCAD and I really like how you explain in your videos! Thanks for the free content, I hope there's a way to give back when I'll can! :)
Stefan Badragan Just keep learning that will be the best return from my videos, Its really good to know that my free content is helping you stefan, Thanks again for your encouragement :)
Totally agreed. I love how he explains why he's doing what he's doing. I can't stand the tutorials where you just watch while they play music. I've learned so much from SourceCAD tutorials.
ur mst welcm.have been trying to design a ulb filament on autocad2015 n does not work somehow especially when apllyn sweep on hilux attached on the botom of the bulb. before drawn/design first watched yur video how to design bulb filament.can you plz hel me
Sweep command can't be used if geometry to be sweeped has large radius or area compared to sweep path, you can see this video for more on sweep command th-cam.com/video/IE3sIn5JoLk/w-d-xo.html
Thank You very much, sir, for such an organized and informative video. 1thing I must correct that on 1:32 0r on 1:33 minute you have mentioned to turned on OSNAP, Sorry sir ! as per my knowledge that is Polar tracking and in that increment angle must be set at 30 degrees. I know that this mistake has been done unknowingly. Your content is excellent.
Please, Jaiprakash! Explain. 1. Why do you put the triangle's vertex on the tip of the helix but not the geometric center of the triangle in the same place? 2. Thread is one but we patch triangles twice on the bottom and on the top separately, why?!
SourceCAD I will study the drawing you shared and get back to you in a day or two, Just one suggestion try not to upload technical drawing of your company (which is often confidential and copyrighted material) on social networking platforms like TH-cam to avoid any problems from your employer. You can email me if you want. Citing above condition I have removed your comment containing link of technical drawing.
I wish to know why first you created a surface model then you converted into solid model in making BOLT. Otherwise it is excellent tutorial Sir. Thank for giving excellent explanation.
If you would have tried it with 3D modelling tools instead of surface tools then the orientation of thread does not remain parallel to the 2D geometry drawn and hence there is acute loss of accuracy. You can see in this video what I mean th-cam.com/video/Gghnbkio4hg/w-d-xo.html here I have used 3D modelling tools for thread instead of surface tool
Sir I wish to know whether the difference is visible. That means straight away going to solid modeling and going to solid modeling through surface modeling.
I hate to nitpick, but your bolt is not M8. It's closer to M10. You placed the thread form on the outside diameter which is 8. the top of the thread form (narrow end) needs to be level with the OD. Just saying. I enjoyed the drawing exercise though, very helpful. Thanks :)
Pablo668 I agree with you Pablo its good to know that you enjoyed this video, I wish to point out that its not even M10 because in that case the pitch should have been 1.5, Actually the bolt is not accurate as per ANSI standards If you will explore video you will notice anomaly in head of bolt as well :) this video is intended to give a general idea of modelling Bolt using AutoCAD and calculations have been taken approximately and wherever possible I have tried to avoid values containing decimals to keep drawing easy to understand and hence many details have been omitted/edited. Hope Its a plausible explanation.
I pretty much thought that was what you were doing. No harm no foul. I'm just sitting here going through your lessons to brush up, I may end up studying this soon, just to get the piece of paper, even though I've been doing this for years. It's all very handy. I am using a Mac version of 2014 though, makes things a bit challenging.
Thanks, would you mind taking a look at my thread, I am having some issues. You can reply here if you don't have an account. forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/creating-pitch-thread-autocad/td-p/6569234 Thanks
For 3D printing a 3D model you need to convert it to .STL format which can be done by export command of AutoCAD. Moreover I am not well aware of 3D printing so it might not be possible for me to help you Matt in this regard :(
If you take reference of this 3D model then there is no thread inside bolt which is practically incorrect, these 3D drawings are for practicing 3D AutoCAD tools and I have ignored accuracy to simplify these drawings and hence it cant be used to create physical component (in your case these models cant be used for 3D printing). I suggest you to get manufacturing drawings of any nut and Bolt and make drawing as per dimensions provided there.
I don't know why, but when I sweep the triangle and the helix, it turns inwards. But the triangle is still on place, as I placed it like you did. Any idea why? Great video!!
suresh vittamsetty I am sorry suresh youtube does not allow downloading of videos however you mark these videos for offline viewing in your mobile device
+Tazeem Mughal Look at 2:16 in the video where I have explained that you need to change mode to surface in order to make sweep as shown in the tutorial.
Yash Mistry Dear Yash, thanks for subscribing to my channel. at this point of time my channel is still growing and hence I am focused on most fundamental tutorials and projects and a tower will fall out of current scope but yes in time to come I will add it as per your request stay tuned.
Hello, As always very useful video for learning AutoCAD. The part of making a thread of the bolt is OK but as soon as I start making the body the bolt, the cursor lags (slows down a lot) on it. Can you please share what specs of the machine you are using for CAD? I have a HP Omen Laptop with core i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 1 TB HDD, NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) dedicated. I purposely purchased it for lag free CAD file but still, I am facing the lag issue. Looking to have your expert advice. Regards.
Hi Mohsin, Your PC specs are great for most of the parametric software let alone AutoCAD. The threads are generally heavy on any kind of CAD software and to counter this almost every software has a "cosmetic" thread option which can be added in the layout view of AutoCAD. The same thing is true for AutoCAD as well. The thread was not at all required if you were to make an actual bolt, you can just add thread specs on the layout. But in this case, we made thread anyways in model space and the performance of AutoCAD was similar for me too. Still, you can just check a few things to improve performance but that won't guarantee a lag-free performance as these kinds of shapes tend to be heavy but might improve performace. 1. Turn hardware acceleration ON, use command 3DCONFIG for this. 2. Check that your software is using NVIDIA and not the default Intel integrated graphics, again you can check this using 3DCONFIG command 3. Disable other programmes consuming heavy resources of your PC. Hope it helps, feel free to share your feedback.

thanks anyway i manage to make it
Welcome Swabir
I think you're wrong with the 0.7675 value for 5H/8, since for P = 1.25, 5H/8 = 0.67658
I like your tutorials too mush , you are great very helpful .. keep on
thanks a lot... it's very helpful...
Nice, master, love it!
good your material ...Thankyou Brother
You should make a copy of the screw and make a substraction between the screw and the unfinished nut. You'd have a complete thread nut.
2OQP Yes that could be one way of doing it
Grazie per questo ottimo video
giamanco dellapina benvenuto, e continuare ad imparare
thank you now im learning more :D

thanku sir
excellent sir,
usefull explaination...could u please tell cant we do that by cylinder and then sweep cut the thread..
and pls tell about adding tolerance also..
Fast and good)

hello sir please make a tutorial on modeling a single start thread and multiple start thread in autocad
Hi,
I need to know about making a pipe and cover it with some thick blanket/insulation (multi layer)
At 1:04 I made that line but to draw second line from the middle I don't get a mid point.?How do i solve this.
Many thanks

I am unable to do the sweep please help
Hi, Great video. I'm having trouble working out what 5H/8 means... How did you calculate .7675? Thanks
The dimensions are taken from standard metric M8 nut and bolt dimensions.
Thanks, would you mind taking a look at my thread, I am having some issues. You can reply here if you don't have an account.
forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/creating-pitch-thread-autocad/td-p/6569234
Thanks
Good job...
good work
Thanks
very very nice but will nut and bolt move as physical objects
No likely as there is no tolerance allowed between threads of nut and bolt
Thanks but if u provide tolerance will they move in AutoCAD
They may move if provided correct tolerance.
can you post a video that explains how to subtract from the nut In order to 3d print this and it function please.
For 3D printing a 3D model you need to convert it to .STL format which can be done by export command of AutoCAD. Moreover I am not well aware of 3D printing so it might not be possible for me to help you Matt in this regard :(
I mean the tolerance between the thread of the bolt to the nut. I am having a problem getting the drawing where in reality they will thread together
If you take reference of this 3D model then there is no thread inside bolt which is practically incorrect, these 3D drawings are for practicing 3D AutoCAD tools and I have ignored accuracy to simplify these drawings and hence it cant be used to create physical component (in your case these models cant be used for 3D printing).
I suggest you to get manufacturing drawings of any nut and Bolt and make drawing as per dimensions provided there.
Can you please tell me how did you find fillet radius for bolt head?(At 05:48 in video why did you take it 2 units?)
There are some assumptions made in this video and the radius in this case is also selected at random
What program did you use to render the bolt and nut as shown in the initial frame of the video?
Its Keyshot Jakob
thank you
wonderful even in autocad 2016
I don't know why, but when I sweep the triangle and the helix, it turns inwards. But the triangle is still on place, as I placed it like you did. Any idea why? Great video!!
beccaboren never mind, I solved it! The Alignment had to be set to "No".
beccaboren thanks for appreciating my videos, I am glad you solved this issue yourself
+beccaboren i aave also set alignment to no but sweep is not working
+beccaboren I had the exact same problem but your comment helped me sort it out , thanks
Welcome
i want to download this videos
suresh vittamsetty I am sorry suresh youtube does not allow downloading of videos however you mark these videos for offline viewing in your mobile device
how u got .7675..??
the end of the spiral is not aligned with the order. Help!!
thanks
thanks bro
i will try
Good luck Ende :)
+SourceCAD can you upload needle bearing or linier bearing?
Thanks Ende for your request I will try to make one tutorial of needle bearing
+SourceCAD ok thanks,i will waiting...thanks you very much
plzz tell me the seting of sweep i had used same dimentions and comands buty nothing does hapen
+Tazeem Mughal Look at 2:16 in the video where I have explained that you need to change mode to surface in order to make sweep as shown in the tutorial.
Nice
Dear bro.
I can't proper sweep , can you help me?
Sir I have not cleared section command in AutoCAD 3d so can you explain this.
Did you render the thumbnail image in AutoCAD?
No, this image is rendered in Keyshot but you can create similar renderings in AutoCAD too, here is the video th-cam.com/video/_Xqz7s73RK4/w-d-xo.html
SourceCAD Thanks, I will check it out, although probably render using Blender as I'm more familiar with that
Sure I will have a look Blender too! Thanks for suggesting.
Can anyone send the file of this design here
Thank you . Please upload vodio about "how to make 3d tower using autocad" i can see this because i subscribed you.
Yash Mistry Dear Yash, thanks for subscribing to my channel.
at this point of time my channel is still growing and hence I am focused on most fundamental tutorials and projects and a tower will fall out of current scope but yes in time to come I will add it as per your request stay tuned.
can i use 2007 commands to 2013
Sure you can
i want the training in auto cad mechanical i live in Nashik Maharashtra how can you help me sir or suggest me something to learn autocad in mechanical
You can join the complete AutoCAD 2016 course from sourcecad here sourcecad.teachable.com/p/the-complete-course-of-autocad-2016
rest is all good but my question is that how can i make threads inside the nut
In a similar as it is made outside, you only need to ensure that sweep is done on internal surface.
When i'm applying the sweep function it get sweeped at some different angle so that its not making complete thread.
Please help me.
jamshed ansari Use surface sweep not solid sweep, you can find surface sweep on surface tab of 3d modeling workspace
If someone has the same problem. Solution is to rotate this diamond you are sweeping
beauty
The music is very distracting. For me, best no music at all.

Welcome Mohsin
sir how to download a auto cad student version
Go to the AutoCAD side, register and download. It's way easy and will only take a few minutes.
i cannot make sweep step why?
Try making smaller geometry for sweep
You have to explode the profile first I think before using swipe command
If you explode the geometry then the sweep profile can't be made as it can only be done with a closed object.
SourceCAD That's true but you did this with an inserted block in another video and it was mandatory
you are right! in that case you need to explode it to convert block into normal geometry. Just insure you don't explode it twice :P
u didn't make hole in nut
Yes because it would not have been visible anyway.
