Draft and thread¶

Draft tilts a face so a wall leans back a little, and Thread adds a real helical thread to a round face.

For Draft, click the face and set an angle up to 60 degrees. The pull direction is Z, and X cycles through X, Y and Z.

For Thread, click the round face, then set the pitch in the P box and the length in the L box. A thread needs at least one full turn. Afterwards the thread lists Hand, Starts and Print clearance under it in the history. Edit the hole or shaft size and the thread follows it.

For a standard size, use Standard Thread from the Fasteners plugin.
