Newbie with modelling Helical Threads

I need to model the following specs in Solidworks and I have no idea
what they're on about. Assignment is due Monday!:

Stub 60 Deg, MOD 0.1P 0.3L Class 2A (inches)
Overall Thread (like overall OD I gathered): 1.25"
Major Dia: 1.2456/1.2360
Pitch Dia: 1.2092/1.2040
Minor Dia: 1.1736/1.1580

I thought "pitch" was the dimension between adjacent threads so why
are they providing diameters.
I can't seem to find any standard thread information on the net as to
"Class 2A".

Can anyone help me out with deciphering the above into "Solidworks
Speak" - draw helical curve, sweep boss, pitch height, # of
revolutions...?

Thanks
New guy

 

Tator,

Hmmm.... a bit cryptic ain't it.

Looks to me like it's a 1.25 x 10tpi (.1Pitch), 3 start (.3 Lead), class 2a
(external fit classification). Overall thread, in this case, "i think"
refers to the length of thread. Ya got a machinery handbook ? The threading
chapter is about the same going back 40 years or so. It also has some very
small print (gives me a hell of a headache)

Regards

Sorry, my bad. The six start has a .05 pitch...duh.

The numbers just don't work (unless I don't know what the hell I'm talkin
about..likley)

I'll send you the file anyway. at least it will show you how to construct it

Just to let you know if you start using Helical anything your documents will
slow way down. If you are doing this for necessity then go right ahead if
you are doing this for representation. Use a non helical thread. If you
must use a Helical thread. I have always been urged to draw 1 revolution
and array the rest where possible. They say it is faster. You can do some
tests using Feature Statistics.
