Hi Alan,try this may be can help you
;-------------------------------------------------------------------
; THREAD.LSP Creates 3D solid (ACIS) threads. 3/3/98
;
; Corrected 3/4/98
; Corrected again 3/6/98
;
; written by: Jim Fitzgerald
;
; Credit goes to Bernd Hoffmann and Ken Shearron for showing
; me this modeling technique and helping me spot
; some bugs.
;
;-------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; This is a way to make 3D solid external threads in
; AutoCAD R13 and R14. Just so you know, it's not
; geometrically correct, but it's pretty darn close.
; There is no error trapping or anything like that.
;
; You are prompted for the Nominal thread size
; (actual size like .190 or .112, not #10, #4, etc..),
; threads per inch (tpi), the total length of the thread, and a
; center point. The program works by creating a single thread
; and then arraying it out to the proper length. The threads are
; drawn a little long and then sliced off to the correct length.
; This program only draws the thread, you're on your own drawing
; the rest of the screw. For internal threads, just subtract this from
; another solid.
;
; Note, the threads created by this can make for some rather big files,
; so make sure your system is up to it. Also, it might take a while
; to union all of the single threads together so be patient.
;
;-------------------------------------------------------------------
; This is freeware. Do what you want with it. If you modify it,
; please take my name off of it so I don't have to support your
; software.
;
; All the typical legal stuff applies. I make no claims that
; this actually works. Use it at your own risk. You can't sue me
; for any problems that you have as a result of using this
; (either personal or professional). Don't drink and
; drive. Eat your vegetables, and call your mother.
