Many thanks Phoebe Lewis, its worked very weel! Gennius!!

Thread modeler works on Inventor 2026 following the Phoebe Lewis method edited as follows. Did my first thread 2 minutes ago succesfully

Works great on inv 2025 after steps given by Phoebe Lewis .

I deleted line 11 from notepad and was able to have it show as a add-in without any issues. This plug-in is unlikely to receive further updates, but it is working as expected on 2024.

Some observations:

- Some reviews mention that NPT threads are not working. I have been able to add in threads if the model itself is tapered. NPT threads are supposed to be tapered, but ThreadModler does not automatically create the taper. I have had the best results with a revolve cut or draft rather than a chamfer.

- It will not allow you to annotate with the 'Hole and Thread' Feature, as it cannot be used on holes.

- "Failed, try with a bigger pitch offset value", there does not seem to be a workaround even with a update to the pitch offset. However, if the model is recreated rather than updated, the plug-in will usually run.

- The plug-in does not work on features with iMates. However, once the threads are generated, iMates can be reapplied.

Have not attempted to 3d print any threadModler threads. I use Fusion for that. This saved me a lot of time updating drawings where some were imported with threads modeled and others were not. Thanks.

If anyone with inventor 2025 needs this. Instead of setting SeriesMax="lr30" change it to SeriesMax="lr31" in the method described by Phoebe Lewis in the comment WORKS IN 2024 WITH THIS METHOD

Taken from reddit user Imaginary_Phone_1785:

the CoolOrange app will work with all newer versions of Inventor including 2024. You just need to make a slight change to a text file to get it working again. Follow the following steps and it will work for you.

Install the app from Apps and then navigate to the c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\coolOrange_threadModeler.bundle\ folder. In Notepad, open the PackageContents.xml file and edit the string SeriesMax="Ir24" to SeriesMax="Ir30". Save the file.

Now, in the Contents subfolder, open the coolOrange.ThreadModeler.Inventor.addin file in Notepad and delete the line 11 with the parameter SupportedSoftwareVersionSmallerThan. Save the file again.

Now run Inventor. In the Tools > Options > Add-ins ribbon, open the dialog and unlock and load the coolorange-ThreadModeler plugin.

这个是怎么回事呢

Muy buen trabajo!

Come on make it 2023

thật tuyệt khi sử dụng để không phải thấy hình dạng ren nhàm chán. Cảm ơn

Modeled threads should be a selectable option when adding threads! They should also retain the thread information as the non-modelled threads do!!!!!!

Love the app, still want the functionality in 2021 and beyond without an upload.

Awesome tool!  But, ThreadModeler has only 2 standard types of thread (1. BSW Template and 2. ISO Template).  

What about other standard threads?

Please update the tool.

Working on Inventor 2021 with tweakings. Look for Brian Bobbit on YouTube.

Is there any way to add new threads like normal threads.xls? I want to model PG threads.

Como instalar en inventor 2023 ????

necesito saber como hecerlo 

no me quiere funcionar 

I nedd to make a trapezoidal thread the templates Iso is only work for a metric thread

Can anyione help me please

1. Go C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\coolOrange_threadModeler.bundle\Contents

2. Find "coolOrange.ThreadModeler.Inventor.addin" open this file by use notepad

3.Change number to be auto desk your version <SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>21 <SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>26

2021 = GreaterThan>21 LessThan>26

2022 = GreaterThan>22 LessThan>27

2023 = GreaterThan>23 LessThan>28

GreaterThan> = your version

LessThan> = your version + 5

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to install threadModeler in Inventor 2023, I was checking that there are people who have achieved it in version 2022, but the link they used is no longer available, I need your help, please.

Not compatible with 2023 file

I downloaded and installed it for IV 2022... but it doesn't show up in the add-ins? It shows up in the "App Manager" as "up to date"...

For Inventor 2022 I modified the coolOrange.ThreadModeler.Inventor file to 22 and 27. It worked.
But I had to unlock as per this instruction. https://coolorange.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THREAD/pages/846397450/Troubleshooting

WORKS GREAT! THANK YOU

Positives:

- It works great

- It looks great, though I don't know what impact it has on Inventor performance if used extensively throughout a project

- Search other reviewers for how to modify C:Program Data to make it work in 2022 and it will run fine.

Negatives that I see:

- It doesn't play quite perfectly with Inventor. You may have issues with working with your part after using thread modeler (extruding, revolving, chamfering etc.).

- Unfortunately it doesn't update if you modify dimensions. I just delete the revolutions and coil it created and start over. For parts you know won't be modified it's great.

- If it locks up for some reason, there's no x button. You pretty much have to restart Inventor.

The Minor diameter created by software is wrong. It's small than standard. please check. 

I am using Inventor 2020, this plugin doesn't show up on the tab after installation, but I found it has been installed on the inventor through the app manager? why is that?

Really good and usefull plugin! Inventor 2021 please! :-)

The cosmetic thread conversion from http://www.threadmodeler.com/home" target="_blank">http://www.threadmodeler.com/home does not work.

2021 online version... no thanks! tried it once, got and error and not sure I want to be uploading my files to a random server (privacy issues) Unfortunate you have stopped developing it. :(

Hello, thank you very much for the application. It works perfectly. In relation to the 2021 version of Inventor, how do you have it?

Thank you,

Jordi Molero

hi will it be any update so it works for 2021 inventor ?

Молодцы! Спасибо вам! Все работает 2021.

Perfect app.
Use it a lot under inventor 2018 but now I'm under inventor 2021 and doesn't work...
Can we hope a fast update for Inventor 2021 ?

Best regards

this application "saves" inventory which is obsolete because of the lack of this functionality in native as on fusion! However, currently impossible to install it on inventor 2021! when will you update please?

This feathur is long overdue in Inventor, SoldWorks has had it now for years.

I would like Autodesk to put thread cutting option into the Hole command, label the options:  SHADED THREAD, MODELED THREAD.

I contacted CoolOrange regarding backwards compatability of the latest version as it did not work on my installation of Inventor 2013. Manuel got back to me with a possible workaround, which I tried and after a bit of fiddling I've managed to get it working. For more info go and have a look at https://coolorange.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/THREAD/pages/846430210/FAQ+threadModeler.

Working Fine on 2021

Works perfectly in inventor 2021. Thank you!

Be advised that the coolOrange App does not work with tapered thread (e.g., NPT thread). Regards.

As others have said, to get it to work with 2021 simply navigate to this file:  open c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\coolOrange_threadModeler.bundle\Contents\coolOrange.ThreadModeler.Inventor.addin and edit <SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan> (you can use notepad) and change the line <SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>21..</SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>

  <SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>26..</SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>

Restart the program and itll load in!

Would Autodesk please put this peanuts coding in their official product. It saves a lot of time in 3D printing, we need this funkctionality. Does someone listen/ read, please confirm.

All the videos I've seen people can do thread pitch with a decimal. That simply does not work for me on inventor 2020...

Does someone know how to do it ? Is there a configuration somewhere ?

I basically can't do a M3x0.5 or M4x0.8. It just doesn't let me. Doesn't even offer an other pitch.

If I try to go a M10x1.5, that pluging replace the 1.5mm pitch with a 1.0mm

Thanks for your answers !

Honestly, I am not savvy at any of this, not a programmer, engineer and can barely use this software. That said, it worked for me in version 21 by making the following changes. 

  <SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>21..</SupportedSoftwareVersionGreaterThan>

  <SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>26..</SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>

for 2021 open c:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\coolOrange_threadModeler.bundle\Contents\coolOrange.ThreadModeler.Inventor.addin and edit <SupportedSoftwareVersionLessThan>

How do I get it to work in 2021?  I gave it a 5 since I know you will solve this problem ;)

2021 version would be great.

Can you guys get this working with Inventor 2021 please.Thanks.

Thread Modeller is a fantastic app, which makes adding realism to my models ( for my client to see ) so much easier. But when is the 2021 version arriving ?

Very Best plugin

ThreadModeler no longer works on Inventor 2021, is it possible to have an upgrade?

Thank's

Thanks a very useful addition. Please make support 2021

Muito bom o app mas é preciso corrigir este problema.

Works great and is easy to use. However, I would like to see additonal templates added besides ISO and BSW. I use this feature primairly to display threads on my stl files for 3D printing instead of manually making my threads. Definitley a time saver.

you juxing luowen gongju jiu geng hao le (￣▽￣)"

It's very nice program. Works great with metric profile but I needed to make ISO trapezoidal tread and didn't recognise it.

Con Inventor 2019 lavora molto bene ottimo

Tried using this to easily 3D print something with male and female threads. Their modeler doesn't have any tolerance for male to female and did not work. 

Today I tried it in Inventor 2019. It function. For interior thread it is necessary to make the hole and thread have you make extra.

Nice :)

Добрый день! Эта надстройка для тех, кто занимается графикой,  или на рендеринг конечной модели...для разработки КД не годится, не отображает в чертеже резьбу, а так штука интересная.

Thanks for this useful app.... To bad Inventor does not give us the option to model the threads like Fusion360.  A few things could make it better, like... make it associative so that if I later change the thread size in the hole, the modeled thread feature also updates. Also, don't add the coil feature to a seperate solid.

For those that want ANSI (UNF AND UNC) just use the ISO template.  It will give the correct thread model.

At titled

Thank you for the useful tool.

Is it popssible to turn tapped holes into modeled thread?

It would be great if UNC, UNF, and NPT thread forms were supported. This is the one improvement I can think of making.

Except there is no support for ACME threads. I would love to see that added in a future release.

Perfecto y fácil de usar

Very simple to use and amazing tool. Thanks for the development. Keep up the good work.

Fácil de intslar y aplicar, Genial¡¡¡

Thanks alot

Perfektní appka :) .... Perfect app. THANK YOU very much :)

Amazing. The app is small, making it easy to download just about anywhere, the installation takes seconds, and the thread-converting process is intuitive and easy to do. I literally can't think of anything else I'd want from this add-on.

Use it for 3D printing. Thanks :-)

It actually worked great for a 3/8" nc thread, but did not work for a 7/16" nc thread.

good

This is an excellent plugin to enable 3D printing of threads.

I use this for converting the built in thread representations to 3d printable objects. This saves me a lot of time and ensures an accurate thread.

I like it and I support your plug-in and YouTube channel. By the way, I'm Chinese. LoL

If you only use metric threads it would be a nice app, but threads for Pipes (Withworth) is not implemented yet. Even tough there is a template named BSW it is sketched with 60° not 55°. Of course this is changed fast, but I didn't get the thread with right inner dimension (for G3/4 around 23.7 instead of real-hole 24.5). So useless for 3D-Printing, only suitable for representation. Instead of lossing further time it's maybe better to generate his own ifeature... Good approach, would be nice to continiue to make it suitable for 3D-Printing even with pipe-threads or trapezoidal threads. Nevertheless, thanks for your work ;-)

how to annotate this thread in drawing for machine operator, I tried but wont let me to annotate!?

Click on the tool. Click on the tread file and boom! Saved me a lot of time instead of doing it manually.

Amazing and simple to use. Perfect for setting up my models for 3d Printing when I need threads.

Works better than expected. Relieve the work. Thank you!

Time saver if you need to fully model the thread. Only downside is creates large file size, but still great.

As everyone else is saying, great for the most part, just needs to be refined so can do more thread styles as well as holes properly. Otherwise, very handy and cool. The error I get the most is "Failed, try with a bigger pitch offset value", no matter what I try, does not work.

A great Tool

Hi there, As others have already thanked I also want to do: Thank you guys!

really easy to use great results .

It does what's supposeed to do. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Muy buena aplicacion! Yo te sugiero que hagas un pequeño tutorial de como hacer roscas para NPT ya que creo que nadie sabe como hacerlo. Gracias

it works very good，especially for 3D print.Thank you！

Does exactly what I needed it to do: make matching 3d-printable threads on holes and surfaces with just a handful of clicks. Support for more non-standard ISO metric threads would be cool, but there are plenty here as-is. Very handy extension to have!

very good. i can 3d print many gears now !!

Very useful for 3d printing and making your components look absolutely better!

Works perfectly! Thank you!

The downloading and aesthetics of threadModeler are fine, but, unfortunately, this application is not compatible with .idw drawings. Inventor does not recognize the threadModeler modifications to the .ipt, therefore they cannot be called out with hole/thread specifications on drawings. I submitted this to coolOrange tech support. They acknowledged that this was a problem and acted as though this was the first time anyone raised this issue with them.

I downloaded the plugin. The installation was successful but i can't see the app in the ribbon. Is it working in version 2018??

Had no problems with it, created perfect threads for 3d printing. Thank you

I don"t normally rate things but I wanted to give this five stars because of how amazingly useful this is. Huge thanks to the developers of this tool.

Have used it once where I wanted to really expose thread on a drawing, so that immediate clarification would happen. Worked well and was happy, good in context of time saving for those one off type jobs.

No hassle, as advertised

it's very responsive, however it's difficult to champher and seemingly impossible to extrude through.

Good afternoon, for the 2020 version, is it already under development? Thank you
