Yes, yes :). Exactly this workbench made me think of how it could be done like the other commercial CAD systems (revolve over spiral (helix)). Actually this approach (from your link) is very interesting and is probably more close to the real spiralling outer surface, than the approach I have tested....

So, anyone interested? Or to start reading the Python manual

The result should be something similar:

Hi, maybe I didn't explain it correctly. The idea is to build something like let's say screw thread with arbitrary profile. The user shall first create the profile at a given distance from the axis along, which the "thread" will spiral, and then maybe to execute a macro or I'm not really s...

Dear community, I was wondering if there is someone willing to (to write the code) automate the "process", that I have tested, for the creation of a thread? I estimated, that it will take me a lot of time, first to learn some more advanced python scripting, which would probably be needed, ...

It is a approximation indeed. But is it necessary to make it more difficult? If yes you can try a search for the "Earth Gravitational Model" Haven't visited mil sites, since I was teenager :roll: . Yes, it can be even more simple like 9,81... Sorry for the offtopic, but I thought, that me...

Hope that helps

I have some memories from the university, that earth acceleration g is not exactly the same everywhere on the planet

It seems (to me) that M$ wants to fork a lot of open-source projects .

Ok, this should be the final look of the Guide Assembly. This is my version and its not very precise according the fasteners used, but I think its enough to get the overall picture. GuideAssemMain-1.jpg GuideAssemMain-2.jpg Maybe some explanations for the fasteners is needed. My version will use: bo...
