    I was wondering if any one can point me to a tutorial or an example file on
    how to create external Threads on pipes.

    I'm trying to design a very cheap Hoffman Appartus anyone can build using
    clear pvc pipe and rubber stoppers. I've created a draft image of what I
    want the parts to look like. An example Image can be found here.

    PS
    A Hoffman Apparatus is for doing electrolysis testing (splitting water)

    In the online help files in Solidworks, search for Helix and Spiral.
    In the resluts you will see a topic named Helix and Spiral. That will
    give you an overview of the helix command, and from there im sure you
    can create your threads using a helix and sweep combination.

    Why would you want to thread PVC pipe?
    Would such even be safe?
