Some folks, particularly model engineering folks might be interested in the British Association thread data for use in Autodesk's Fusion360 package. It will automatically allow BA threads to be added from the MODEL/CREATE/Thread command ribbon.
The file can be downloaded using the link below. Tested working with the 11/2016 update.
To use the data, it has to be placed in the thread data folder ... can vary from machine to machine. On my non-networked system, it was found as follows (Nov-2016 location, it can change!):
c:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\[strange alphanumeric string ... if more than one, use the most recent]\Fusion\Server\Fusion\Configuration\ThreadData\
The RED parts of the address above will vary by user and machine.
I have not tested this with the CAM side of F360. The table does have the correct tapping drill info entered, however since I've never used the table in a CAM operation, you try it at your own risk!
The forum rules do not allow XML uploads! Click below to download a zipped file containing the BA xml data, unzip and install in the directory listed above.
