Macro screw maker1 2/en

This macro creates a screw with or without thread, according to ISO standards.



Usage
Select the characteristics of the screw and click on the create button.

If you select a circle on a hole, or alternatively the inner surface of a circular hole and the circle at top of that hole at the same time, the screw will be placed into the hole with the create button. There is a message text, that will inform you, when the selected combination of properties is not available.

The creation of the thread takes some time. Be patient and have a look at the CPU-usage. The latest version of Screw maker is 2.0. The wiki does not allow to upload a zip-File and copying the text from this page is not convenient. So here is a link to a forum post with the latest version: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6558&start=30#p95929

The text below is still the old version 1.4. It has lesser screws than the actual one. It still needs the former used library PyQt, which is not available in actual FreeCAD-Versions. Please use the version from the link above.
