Creating Threads in SOLIDWORKS: Properly Modeling Internal & External Threads
How can you create internal and external threads directly as 3D geometry in SOLIDWORKS? This tutorial shows you step-by-step how to model an M8 internal thread and an M10 external thread using the Thread feature, creating clean thread entry and exit points.

The SOLIDWORKS Thread feature allows you to create internal and external threads directly on the 3D model. By selecting "Metric Tap" for internal threads and "Metric Die" for external threads, you can define appropriate metric thread sizes.
By combining offset and the "Maintain Thread Length" option, you can maintain the desired thread length while creating a clean thread entry.
