    Does anyone know where I can download SW parts of actual threads -
    either machine and / or other types already created as kind of a
    "thread wizard" / thread library? I understands that SW has a
    representation but I want to be able to have the actual part shown.

    I can create my own, but I would like to save the time.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Rob,

    This may not be exactly what your asking for but McMaster has a huge
    selection of solid models for hardware, bolts, screws, etc. that you
    can download for free.

    HTH,

    They do have lots of screws with threads on them BUT the threads are not
    modeled correct. They are a revolve that is then patterned to resemble
    threads. Won't work if you need them for machining purposes

    I don't understand why you need to model them for machining purposes
    but I don't need to.

    Drop me a private email with the thread specs you
    want to model. I have been modeling Customer Specific Custom Thread
    Forms for the past couple of days and may be able to help you out.
    Either way it won't hurt to look at it.

    Last I checked, you had the option to unsupress threads in Toolbox
    screws. I can't vouch for their correctness because I never use them
    with threads shown, but it's worth a look.
