LENSCAP Part - Thread, Swept Feature and Helix/Spiral Curve

Utilize the Swept feature If to create the required threads. The thread requires a spiral

path. This path is called the ThreadPath. The thread requires a Sketched profile. This

cross section profile is called the ThreadSection.

The plastic thread on the LENSCAP requires a smooth lead in. The thread is not flush

with the back face. Use an Offset plane to start the thread. There are numerous steps

required to create a thread:

• Create a new plane for the start of the thread . cf ~
