Autocad help!

[HamaticBabylon]

I’m using AutoCAD 2002 and I can’t seem to make a cutting into the screw thread with both the inner and outer diameters subtracted from each other. It’s part of a pump that I’m making and I need help making the the right subtractions.

I posted a picture using Microsoft paint, since I can’t post an AutoCAD file ( becuase it's in the form.dwg)



I hope you can answer my question!

Your software is all messed up, and your hardware too, smash your computer and software into little bits, then buy new stuff.

Ah! Perfection knows nothing about AutoCad 2002!

Maybe you should find a place where people know something about AutoCAD?

A quick google gave me this place: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/index.php

Well yah think?

CFC first then others...

My point is that not many CFCers know a lot about AutoCAD (as you can tell by the number of people that posted here), but everyone there does.

Well haven't used AutoCAD, used other CAD software, but I imagine there are two ways to it...

1.Create the part from two sub-parts, and join them (Put different holes in each)
2. If the software has an option to define the length of a hole cutout, then create the smaller diameter hole first, then the second one to the desired length.

I assume this is what you want?
